My tradition for the past five years has been to blog “the BEST” of my social media posts from throughout the year corresponding each month to the 12 days of Christmas:  January -The 1st Day of Christmas

My work among the people may be best defined as carrying forth a Father’s Heart, Counselor’s Insight and Prophet’s Voice.
