Hello, MWB friends.  Today is my last working day. Officially retired!.  It is, of course, a happy time but also a time of saying so-long to a long-time routine, a regular morning alarm, and most importantly to a great team of co-workers who have also become my dear friends.  A special smile to Amy, Janet, Karen, Montie, Sandy, Loren and Michael - I'm going to miss you, my dear friends.  MWB friends, please remember us all in prayer as we adjust to a new normal.

All that said, I'm going to take a few days off - not from God's Word but from MWB. I leave Sunday for a month-long stay at the beach - can you say dream trip!  Thank you, Mr. Bill!  I plan to resume MWB on Monday, Feb 12.

As always, let me encourage each of you to stay in The Word.  We must never take a vacation or break from a pursuit of holiness because Satan takes full advantage of that time to advance his cause.

MWB friends, thank you for your encouraging words through the years - how I love hearing from you!
