Merry Christmas

Please accept my best wishes for a happy and successful new year as well.

I plan to continue towards the same goal that I set for myself last year. As I pray for peace in the world, I realize the only answer for real and lasting peace is:

• that peace within;
• that it only comes from God;
• and that it must begin with me.

I am going to continue to try to do my part in stopping bigotry, hatred, and prejudice, by practicing love and tolerance.

I may not be all that I should be, but then I am not what I once was, and with God's help, I am not what I shall become.

Sincerely,
