A Happy and Prosperous New Year to one and all!

Please pray for an old shipmate who sailed away this morning.

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and would ask you do not forget why we are here and why we celebrate this occasion. To those who have not, you will have soon I promise. God Bless us all.

I would ask for your help Lord, as you already know my business and private life are failing due to my ill health. I have no money and things just seem to be going wrong all the time. It's like I have this huge black cloud following me all the time, I know everything happens for a reason I just wish I could understand this one. My wife deserves so much more than this as well, she is much stronger than me and I thank you Lord for that.
