Hey Friends,

We had a great year.

So many things happened. One of my favorites was that I got to go on a missions trip to Costa Rica.

I posted several slideshows on my blog about it.

I love being able to minister and help people.

The Lord spoke to me at the end of the year to start Joseph Barlow Ministries. So that's in the works now. I'm excited to see what He has in store for us.

Another very cool thing happened: the Lord gave me an electric guitar! It was quite a supernatural chain of events. I think I'll post on the blog about it.

Blessings to you all and make sure by next December 31st that you've done something to help people and love God.

ciao
