The New Year, 2025.  As we look to a New Year and pause to reflect on the past year, the Brotherhood has so much to be thankful for.

The unprecedented run in the FCS playoffs was great, but it left all with the anticipation of things yet to come. 

This is traditionally what ringing in the New Year is all about, anticipation and a hope for better days ahead.  We are thankful for every victory on and off the field.  We have seen Brothers who were infirmed recover, and we have said, "Until we meet again" to loved ones, yet the journey is all worth the price. 

In the book of Psalm 64:10 it says, "May the Lord bless his people with peace and happiness and let them celebrate."  We were never promised a life without sorrow or loss or even tough times, yet we have been promised peace and happiness.  It's tough to see how in the midst of pain you can see happiness or feel peace, yet if we know in whom we place our trust, we know we will never fail, and all things will work together for those who call on the Lord.

Our responsibility is to choose to see the end and not the current circumstance, to have faith and destroy our doubts.

Let's all rally around those in our midst that need our prayers and encouragement and speak words of life over them and continue to love them.

Please continue to lift up Larry Hultgren's great grandson as well as Mike McGuire's wife Katie, we believe for them to be in good health.

We give thanks for Steve Winkle's recent recovery from surgery and celebrate his Fantasy League Championship!

We pray God's very best for each and every one of the Brotherhood family as we look to this New Year with great hope and excitement.
