(I am beginning to write this article on December 30, 2025, but it will be completed on New Year’s Eve and sent to some of my favorite people.)
I have been looking at this computer screen for several hours reading emails, manuscripts submitted for my perusal, and researching a variety of subjects. My eyes are weary, but that’s nothing new. A lot of the year 2025 was spent sitting in this chair, looking at the PC screen, and typing. It’s a part of what I do. My computer screen is not the only one that takes a lot of my attention. My wireless phone screen receives many, many messages via texting every day. I try to be diligent in responding. For a guy who never “took” typing in high school and was never “schooled in using a computer keyboard,” writing is more of a challenge for me than for the professional.
My “Writing Room” is not an “office” nor is it a “Pastor’s Study.” It is where I write. It’s where I write emails and commentaries, log my activities, and do online research. Occasionally, I use it to record a video using the title, “Sightline with Dr. C.” I continue to plan to release them by posting on a Youtube channel.
Nancy (my wife) and I enjoy being able to work in ministry from our Springfield home in the beautiful Ozarks of southwest Missouri. It’s a blessing! It’s a blessing that could only have come to pass because of our omnipotent, omniscient, loving Heavenly Father. He has given us an ideal place to reach out in service for our Lord, Jesus the Christ.
With this day being well-spent, it is time to “hang it up” until tomorrow.
NEW YEAR’S EVE
It is now mid-afternoon New Year’s Eve and Nancy and I have completed our out-of-the-house chores, one of which was to visit her shut-in sister. Nancy is the light of her life. The other stop was at our medical clinic for some attention to minor concerns we both share. Success! Finally, we paid a visit to our favorite Natural Food Market to purchase a supplement for her and one for me. It’s been a good start to putting the finishing touches on another year.
THE NEW YEAR BECKONS
During 2026, it is my plan to establish my activities on a foundation with 4 pillars: Theology, Prophecy (Teaching), Economics (Biblical), and Health (Divine Health vs. Divine healing). I will attempt to stay within the parameters of these four points in my research, writing, video production, and as a pastor.
In my ninety plus years on planet Earth, I have accumulated a long lifetime of experience, and the evidence is overwhelming that we need to give attention to these 4 points. Frankly, I can’t do anything about world peace, Washington DC politics, the Federal Reserve, the World Health Organization, or any of the elitists who are the movers and shakers in this century. I can do something where I am, where I live, and where I have my being! I often think of the Roman Catholic priest many years ago who urged tv followers to light a candle “where you are.” I have four candles to light: theology, Prophecy, Economics, and Health.
I invite all who read this “The End and The Beginning of The End” to write, call, or email me with observations, inclinations, repercussions, or any other reaction. Your response will be welcome.

I believe 2026 will be exceptional in positive ways for anyone who genuinely knows God, in Christ, through the Holy Spirit. I believe that someone can be you.
Happy New Year Indeed … to you and yours,
PAUL
