Brothers,

Given the fact that Christmas and Convention are only TWO weeks or so =
away (can you BELIEVE it?), and given that many schools will be going on =
their winter/quarter/semester break soon, I wanted to pass along a few =
wishes to you.

Best of luck on your finals, exams, or other projects that you might =
have.  My best wishes to you and your family and whatever holidays you =
celebrate - Christmas, Chanukkah, Kwanza, etc (and hey, if you celebrate =
more than one, more power to you!)=20

It's at this time of year that I look back and think about all the =
blessings that I have received - the past couple of years have been =
great for me and, in truth, I've probably been given more than I deserve =
- a great job, my own place, and just recently I became engaged.  All =
too often we ask why things go wrong in our lives - do we ever stop to =
ask why some things go RIGHT in our lives?  We take many things for =
granted - our family, our friends, opportunities, etc.  Remember to be =
thankful for those many things you have because many people have much =
less than we do.

I hope I don't sound preachy - I just find that when I think about the =
good things in my life, it helps me pay even more attention to those who =
don't have even the simplest of necessities.

Please accept my best wishes for a happy holiday season, safe travels to =
wherever you may be heading, and a happy and prosperous New Year.

To those heading to Minneapolis, I hope to meet as many of you as I can.

In Leadership, Friendship, and Service,

Mark Stratton
