2023 in Exactly 100 Words (#2095)

2023/12/12 By Greg

As a way of seeking to update the Christmas letters that for decades were slipped inside of Christmas cards and delivered by postal mail, I started writing 100 word “year in review” notes in 2016. Recognizing that one must be concise in the current social media era, I’ve limited contents to a few highlights.

This year’s edition follows.

2023 in Review

In my third year at White Rock Center of Hope (Dallas) my title changed from Executive Director to Chief Executive Officer.  I returned to guest preaching, was ordained to ministry in the United Church of Christ, and installed as CEO of WRCH. 

After six years at Tarrant County College and fifteen in higher education, Susan returned to the public library as Chief Guest Officer for the Metropolitan Library System. 

We reside in a house in Arlington, TX and an apartment in Oklahoma City, OK. We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a trip to New Orleans, LA and Navarre Beach, FL.

So What?

Give it a try.

Reflect on your life experiences throughout 2023 then write a Christmas style letter in exactly 100 words.
