FROM OUR PUBLISHER
Deadlines! I guess the first deadline that really got my attention
was for an English term paper in college. Then, with
marriage and a growing family, more deadlines appeared.
There were deadlines for tax returns, field trips for our kids,
sign-ups for camping retreats, and entering contests.
Then, just when I thought the deadline baton was about
to be passed on to our own children, I plunged directly
into publishing magazines—and am now constantly on
even more deadlines! How ironic. I remain in the throes
of deadlines.
I’m thankful to God, however, that I’m still able to multitask
and rock our new grandbaby in the midst of so many
deadlines. And I’m grateful that there are NO deadlines
on making new friends and cultivating new business
relationships for our publications. We’re blessed that
people’s stories aren’t affected by deadlines or are
ever really “finished.” So here we go into 2020!
Despite lots of deadlines, we have even more reasons
to celebrate life in our hometown. l
