[Granny Bear]

Well, every year about this time, I tend to reflect and get a little nostalgic about where the last year has taken me, and my direction for the next year. That hasn’t changed.

BGR means different things to different people. I actually consider it an extended family, dysfunctional family but still “family”. And that term is very important to me. For instance, I know of 5 people who regularly post on BGR that are having a very difficult time right now…..for different reasons, but still suffering. And I do mean they are suffering.

I pray for this family every night, and have special prayers for the ones who have asked me to include them. I pray for the lonely, the sick, the frightened and the disheartened. I am particularly burdened this year as so many of my “family” are facing trials.

So as the year draws closer to an end, I would ask those that believe in prayer to pray for peace, guidance for our great nation and the wisdom to make the correct choices.
