We’re not trying to pull a fast one. It’s just that only in putting this letter together that we realized we’ve only been together in person less than seven days of 2020.

Mike and Vikki, on the other hand, hardly missed a day together, and the five months when both were furloughed from day jobs (March-July) they were together 24/7. It’s said family-arity can breed contempt. In this case, familiarity bred blessings.

This assistance led us to review our work in line with the first Best Practice: “Define Your Purpose.”

performance material They are new things. They are exciting things. As for KIT and our houses, the Year of the LORD produced vision beyond 2020. To Him Be The Glory: Vikki, Michael, Garlan
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
