The Superior Express -

It’s time to change the calendar and begin a new year. 2023 offered some challenging times for our family but it also offered some rewards. We had a granddaughter graduate from high school and head off for college at K-State. Another granddaughter was married and we finally gained a grandson. Recently another granddaughter graduated from Fort Hays University and went right into a teaching job.

Who knows what 2024 will hold? It looks like at least two wars will continue. Iceland is having some nasty volcanoes and the conflicts will go on about our border problems. All eyes are on the primary election outcomes, and it will be a year to vote for a president of our choice. Farmers in the mid west are hoping this new year will bring more rains, better crop yields and filled ponds. Everyone is praying for lower grocery prices and gasoline and diesel prices. But in general, a lower cost of living. We don’t want to go back to wearing masks as we were warned to do earlier.

Thankfully, the world isn’t all worked up like it was 24 years ago when it was thought the world may come to an end as the computers would goof up when the year 2000 arrived. They tagged it Y2K which meant the “year and the 2K kilo stood for two thousand. Thankfully the worrying was for nothing.

Of course we hope for less riots and less protests in the coming year. We pray for the future leaders of this country and for peace.

So look forward to the new year and you all are wished A Happy New Year!
