The New Year
Once again we trade in our old calendars for a new one. A new year is now here and with it
some new things. I hope that you are intent on making 2015 a great year in your walk with God. In
just a few weeks we will be talking about our new theme for 2015 and where our focus will lie.
There are many things going on and a great deal planned for 2015. I want to begin by letting you
know about what is going on to start our year.
Things are in a bit of disarray around our offices right now. The renovation work that was done in
2014 to my office and the downstairs classrooms was completed. However, this week we have begun renovations to Tammy’s office and what used to be Maynard’s office. This will take between 2
and 3 weeks. In the meantime, there might be some things that are out of whack. Tammy will be
using classroom 4 as a temporary office. Once the work is done, Tammy will be moving into Maynard’s old office on a permanent basis.
On a personal note, I am excited to announce that Tammy’s brother (my brother-in-law), David
Dixon, has accepted an offer to become the new preacher at the Wesconnett congregation here
in town. We are both excited to have some family members living here in Jacksonville with us. I
know David will do an excellent job there. David is married to Rachel (McCullough) who grew up
here at Lake Forest. They are both excited to begin their new work here in Jacksonville.

Words that we hear have a way of making
each one of us feel good at times. Do you remember the day ladies, you heard the words you
had been wanting to hear when you heard “Will
you marry me?” and for the guys when you
heard the words “Yes I will”!! Do you remember the day when you heard the words
“Congratulations, It’s a boy or It’s a girl” or
what about the day when you heard the words
for the very first time “Congratulations, Your
loan has been approved”? Now you could go
and buy that house you had been dreaming of or
that car you had been wanting to drive. Words
have a way of making us feel good and have a
way of causing excitement, joy and happiness in
our lives.

In Matt 25:34 our Lord is describing the
judgment scene when he says to the faithful
“Then shall the King say unto them on his
right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world”. Have you ever
stopped and thought about the words that each
