Friends,

Happy New Year!  So…it’s 2021.  I’ve been thinking of a good slogan we can use for 2021.  You know, something that rhymes and is fun.  So, after searching my huge vocabulary, I came up with “Let’s have fun in 2021”.  Pretty novel wouldn’t you say?  Now we need to do it, to actually live it.  Let’s have fun in 2021!

Here’s a little video Cal and I made to get us started…enjoy!  Todd built the bike with offset wheels.  Click here to watch video

Sharing.  We love to experience and we love to share.  I don’t know if you had a chance to look outside yesterday or better yet, go outside; it was beautiful!  God was working 3rd shift Sunday night creating a masterpiece for Monday morning.  Cal and I thought we’d go out and experience it with our cameras so we could share with those of you who couldn’t get out.  For those of you who haven’t been out in a while…I’m always thinking about you and praying for you.

Here are a few images of our experience in God’s masterpiece without leaving Pewaukee.  It was amazing!  He didn’t miss a leaf or a weed with His frosty creations.

Sometimes our world gets turned a little upside down…good will come from it.  Eventually.

We all need friends.  Even ducks need friends…

Peaceful!

And…we’re having fun already in 2021!

It’s COVID safe outside.  Get out and enjoy the outdoors if you can.  Just Keep Moving.  If you can’t get out, hopefully by sharing our experiences with photos, you can experience it too.

Last week, I was hoping to open the gym back up this week and start the new year out right.  Unfortunately, we’ve had two more of our friends with MS test positive, one more employee’s spouse and we have four more employees quarantined with symptoms.  As much as we’d love to get back together this week, I really feel the responsible thing to do is wait until this COVID things settles down a bit.  We won’t be getting back together this week but we will as soon as we feel safe to do so.  Stay tuned!

Last week, we had yet another amazing Zoom prayer group.  I just love the way we share, pray together and witness prayers being answered weekly.  Thanks goes to God and to everyone that joins us.  Again…amazing!

Our Zoom prayer group on Wednesday mornings are a great place to get together virtually, catch up a bit and give thanks.  Even though we can’t get together physically quite yet, it’s so nice to see all who joins us virtually.  It’s awesome seeing so many of you there laughing, listening, sharing, giving thanks and praying!

We’ll be doing it again tomorrow (Wednesday) @ 11:30am.  We’ll get together via zoom and share, talk, listen, give thanks and pray however God leads us.  It’s a way for all of us to get together virtually to catch up and be there for each other and with each other.  I hope you’ll join us!

Thanks to all who joined us today.  I’m confident Adam will help shorten the winter up and get us through it with smiles on our faces.

My heart goes out to all the people and families of the people that have been affected by COVID-19.  This is really getting serious and close to home.  Whether actually having it, being exposed to it, being affected by businesses being shut down, losing your job, working on the front line, etc.  These are tough times and we really need to take it seriously and do our part of practicing social distancing and all other recommendations.  I hope you and your family are safe.  Let’s keep everyone affected in our prayers and pray we all get through this as safely as we can.

As we all go through this pandemic together, I encourage you to share a smile with someone.  Perhaps you could give someone a call that you haven’t talked with for a while just to see how they’re doing.  This pandemic is tough in many ways.  We all could use a little extra love and encouragement during these times.

Let’s be thankful for all the doctors, nurses and everyone in the health care that are putting themselves at risk every day and every night as they serve those with the Coronavirus.  These are amazing, selfless, courageous people!  Let’s also give thanks to all the people in the world that are working diligently to develop testing equipment and ways to treat this Coronavirus.  Let’s also give thanks for all the people that are working diligently to produce protective gear, respirators, and any other medical equipment to help us get through this pandemic.

We may be inconvenienced in many ways but others have it much worse.  Let’s be thankful we have each other.  I know I’m thankful for you!

Let’s stay calm, focused, healthy, flexible, have faith and learn as much as we can about the challenges of each day and make good choices.

See you soon…better days are ahead!

Happy New Year!

Dan
