No Three-peat for the Chiefs

Hail to the Chief

Happy New Year!

Here's hoping you and your loved ones have a blessed 2025.  If my year is anything like 2024, it's going to be an outstanding year!

Mizzou Wins the Music City Bowl!

My beloved Missouri Tigers football team always figures out a way to finish the job. Today they came from behind to beat the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Nashville Music City Bowl 27-24. Iowa and Mizzou were evenly matched teams, each missing a strong offensive weapon. If they played each other ten times my guess is they would both win five.

Congratulations to Coach Eli Drinkwitz and the Tigers for another fun season! For the second year in a row the Tigers have secured ten wins. I am so proud of this Tiger team! M-I-Z!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. -Luke 2:1 - 14.

I hope you and your loved ones have a very merry and blessed Christmas!
