Minus 144 Days - Good News Sunday

1. The Dow hit 11,000 Monday.




2. I probably ate 11,000 fewer calories last week than I did Christmas week.



3. Wayne called a few minutes ago to let me hear the sound of the surf in Florida.
That's especially good news, knowing he's standing on beach sand instead of desert sand.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1
