Miller Family Newsletter 2004
On behalf of our family we wish you a Merry Christmas. We are trying out something new this year. Interactive Christmas Greetings! It's the IPod effect - select what you want and leave the rest.
Here is a link to our long Christmas Newsletter. To view this in a larger window right click over the link and select "open new window." Otherwise you will need your reading glasses.
If you prefer a shorter version here are the highlights:
Family: Tyler started first grade. Nathan joined Boy Scouts. Michelle became a teenager and began horseback riding. Lisa has set her sites on going back to work. I've picked up the tennis racket again.
Business: Came back strong. The Spencer Company moved to its new offices at 2121 N. Akard. Health care and libraries were a prime focus.
The Book: Is doing very well. I actually received a royalty check. I'll be on a three hour broadcast in January and then speaking at the World Future Symposium the end of June. This has been a lot of fun. If you haven't bought your copy yet I'll provide a link. History and future stuff may not be your favorite topic but I'll bet you have a friend or a pastor who loves that kind of reading. You can also say, "hey, I know that person."
Perspective: Most people I know feel that the economy is improving BUT the challenges in both the near and distant future are large and complex. I'm convinced that each of us can make a positive difference by being true friends, good neighbors and engaged citizens. That is easier said than done even with the best of intentions.
Christmas and this season in general can also get in the way of restoring that balance. I often feel like the tail is wagging the dog from Thanksgiving through New Years. When we do get a chance to look up, look back, look around and look ahead - we've got to admit - these are incredible times to be alive and worth taking time to consider their significance and ours as well.
I hope the next few weeks help restore some of that original message that inspired angels to proclaim; "Peace on earth to men of goodwill."
