Hopefully making theology simpler to understand! (2 Corinthians 1:12)

Quite a bit of this, I admit, I just copied and pasted! I changed and added what was needed.

Did you know more stuff happened this year? (* extreme sarcasm)

On some positive notes, my Youth Group managed to have a lot of fun this year, and the Instructional Assistant (one step below professor, but I still teach … but mostly grade work and keep students on task) for Christian Worldview at Grand Canyon University job continues proving fruitful in many ways. A big one is that I personally have gotten to lead several people to faith in Christ and help others grow deeper in their faith, as well as helping some who had been antagonistic to religion in general and Christianity in particular be more open-minded. That is pretty cool. This next semester I also get to help with teaching Philosophy. This should be helpful with apologetics.

I had a full year in seminary, including taking biblical Hebrew. Unlike many seminarians who get super-academic and feel the need to give their hearers “all the information” and then find themselves getting pulled out of the devotional side of Bible reading and discipleship, I actually found my love for ministry deepening and my teachings getting more pastoral and *gasp* fun!

I also had the opportunity to go speak, teach, and preach in Kenya! That was a trip.

Oh, and apparently there was a presidential election. (*more sarcasm about a very true thing)

Overall, we had a good year.

And God is still good and in control.

This next year will definitely be … 2025.

In any event, may you receive an abundance of bunches of blessings this year. And though life may take some effort to trudge through, fall on the promises of God, this year and always.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24-26, ESV

In His Love,

Daniel
