About 2 Thursdays ago, I had a most interesting experience….one of epic proportions. Or perhaps I should say, one of ‘David & Goliath’ proportions. In karate, we are trained to use our spirit, skill, & strength to face challenges. This incident certainly summoned all of my spirit, all of my mental skills and strength.

This Christmas, as we are reminded of how much God loves all of us to send His son, Jesus Christ, to be born as one of us to give us eternal life, let me wish everyone a blessed Christmas!
