This was my first year of retirement. I have had some minor health changes and many changes to my responses to outside stimuli. Changes from myself controlling my world around to realizing God has always been in control of my world. I am here today because of what God has done, not I. My biggest change has been instead of using God as a life saving ring when I was drowning to actively seeking God to see what He wants me to do.
