Goodbye 2008, Welcome 2009

As we wrap up 2008, let us remember some of the things that happened. Well, I'm writing down the things that I can remember so far. At least these are the more significant things.

[In no particular order]
  1. Our GCHS gym burned down
  2. Grace Christian College started
  3. Our economy was hit by the oil crisis
  4. Massacre at Talayan Village
  5. Joshua De Leon was hit by a serious tumor
  6. Our church joined a basketball tournament (PCIBL)
  7. Sister Sharon Chio joined our pastoral staff
  8. We had a mini fair, Fun for Fund
  9. We had a youth summer conference in Baguio
  10. DVBS (Daily Vacation Bible School)
  11. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary (Anniversary Concert and Lunch)
  12. Annual Christmas Party
  13. Inauguration of our Fellowship Hall and Activity Center
  14. Renovation of our church sanctuary
  15. Out of one fellowship came Zion and Young Pro Fellowships
  16. Chancel Repertory performed the play "Call Waiting" in our church
  17. The biggest batch of Baptismal candidates
  18. Junior Church Bible Camp
  19. Christmas Shoebox project
If you count all the things I've listed down... there are more good than bad. I honestly couldn't remember anymore of the bad events. Lots of bad things have happened; but, I guess, they didn't really leave much of an impression. This reminds me of how God gives us His blessings, but we just don't seem to be thankful enough.

"Count Your blessings, Name them one by one. 
Count your blessings, See what God hath done..."
[you know the rest].
