The Christianville Spirit: Christian's Year-In-Review 2025

              


                 The Christianville Spirit 

The Spirit that Inspires The Soul 

December 27th, 2025 – TCS # 925 

 

Well, My Readers, PTLS Family Members, and Friends, It looks like We have come to The End of Another Year here at The Christianville Spirit and What a Year it was. 

Wow! “What a Year” 2025! This Year was needless to say,  

An Interesting Year! 

This Year was One of Those Years that You see or hear about Different Events happening and You think to Yourself, 

“Well, That was not on The Bingo Card This Year, was It?!” 

In Other Words, Things that You did not see Coming at All! 

My Mental Health (Anxiety) did get much better This Year compared to Last Year of 2024. 

I entered This Year with Cautious Optimism, because of The Rough Years that I have had Previously and in a way, Coming down from it. It is Hard to explain. So, I mean This Year was better but, still Rough around The Edges. I did become more like My Normal Self this Year, but  

by The End of The Year, I had to be Dealing with The Terrifying Episode of Getting My Gallbladder Removed because It was Severely Infected, so I did not have Time to be Anxious with It taking like 2 Weeks to Recover from That. 

At One Point during Recovery, I could not Burp, Hiccup, Getting Up and Down, Among Basic Things without  

My Abdomen Hurting! Seriously Man! 

So, As Much as We want to scream Happy New Year, 

 We have to Review This Year before We can move on. So, The One thing that We definitely needed in This Crazy Year was Something that I tried My Best to Provide,  

Inspiring Souls in Whatever Way that I could. I even Inspired Myself a Few Times with The Creativity I had going on in My Head! But, We needed Inspiration with This Sometimes Difficult but, Interesting Year! 

That was not only This Year’s Tagline and Theme but,  

This Year unlike Any other Year, We really needed it! 

The Tagline and Theme of 2025 is  

The Spirit that Inspires The Soul. 

That is Bi-Credited to both,  

My Mom’s Gal-Pal Linda (Code Name: G.P Linda) and 

 Gal-Pal, Diana (Code Name: G.P Lady Diana). 

 

 

So, First Thing that We need to Review is Something that I do Every Year, which is My Goals of The Year which I always set with Love, Heart, and Most Importantly, with Belief. 

I have Learned that You can plan Goals and Destiny at The Time, says “Not Yet”. So, Maybe I should have My Goals more toward Where I want or Believe that Destiny wants me to go. I will still have My Goals but, This Year I am Letting My Angel Director of Destiny and Of Course, My Guardian Angel lead The Way because They know Where I am headed and Not what I want but, What I need!  

I am Happy to report that I did accomplish some of  

This Year’s Goals, 2 out of 4! So, I am still Believing for 2026! 

 

 

 

So, Here are My 2025 Goals with Love and Belief in My Heart! 

++++ I Know, I said This Last Year but I feel It is Time that I Deserve to be with  

My Forever Romantic Person.  

It is Formal Term that could mean Soulmate,  

True Love, or Life Partner. Soulmates are rumored to Come, Give You Lesson, and Leave. At Least, That is a Theory that I heard. A Forever Romantic Person is The Kind of Love that makes you Complete as well as Love that You can perfect over The Years. Love that makes you Fall in Love over and over, and You never get Tired of It; that Laughing at Something really Mundane kind of Love; Lay Underneath The Christmas Tree together or like Laying on The Grass looking at The Stars, with only The Christmas Lights at Night kind of Love; Singing to Our Favorite Song kind of Love; and, The Kind of Heart that will Love You No Matter what You look like or What You are doing kind of Love! Someone that is as Christina Yang of The TV Show, Grey’s Anatomy said  

“You're My Person”. Director of Destiny,  

“Ma Take The Wheel” with This One! 

(Seriously, Ma! Must be Next Year!) 

 

++++ Personal One: Quit Accepting “Fake Love” as Being Okay with It! Seriously, People should Love Me because They genuinely want to, Not because They have to 

(This Goal was Hard but, I think I Nailed It) 

 

++++ Maybe have Faith’s Daughter teach me to Paddle Board. I would believe that Faith, herself, would still want me to at least try it. 

(Maybe Next Year! Okay, Faith?! I’m putting in Your Hand This Time! 

Might have to have G.P Diana help with This One and Faith can show up) 

 

++++ And, Finally on The PTLS Front,  

2025 is The 18th Year since PTLS was Named and The 12th Year since The PTLS Foundation was Started! So, I will assist The PTLS Foundation in My Own Way! Support My Young Adult PTLS Friends, and Of Course, Believing in and Inspiring PTLS Family Members and Friends! 

(I nailed This Goal Very Well! For Example, I inspired My PTLS Lil’ Sis, McKenna to as I said to,  Live Her Best Life” by going to An Art School) 

 

 

So, Those were My 2025 Goals! Kind of Hard to set Goals after a Few Rough Years!  

So, Generally, Most of These Goals have been moved to The Year of 2026. I believe that I will have Much Better luck Next Year! Now, Yes, I know that I may sound Negative when Reflecting about This Year. Now, Just Because Crazy Stuff happened this Year does not mean that Good Things did not come out of It. It may sound Crazy but, Sometimes, The Best Things can come out of Not-So-Great Things. So, with that said, I cannot wait until 2026. 

So, with that said, Before 2026 comes and We excitedly watch The Ball drop, Let’s Re-Live 2025 via what I call “Christian’s Year-In-Review 2025”, My self-produced Year-In-Review.  

So, without Further adieuLet’s get started! 

So, like all Years We start in ++ January 

So, Apparently, I am realizing that I started This Year and Ended This Year with Being in Some Kind of Pain, 

On January 30th, I was Outside with The Dogs after I thought A Thunderstorm was Over, When I heard a Loud Clap of Thunder, I panicked and I Fell and hit My Head on The Wooden Side of The House, as well as Hurt My Leg a Bit. Just a Minor Incident 

 

 

Before I start with The News, I try as Hard as I can to avoid any Upsetting Political Stories, but For The Sake of History and My Year-In-Review, I feel I must mention them. If I feel that It may Upset (or Trigger) Someone, I will say, Political Story Alert! So, Let me say this first. Let Me Make it VERY Clear that Us here at The Christianville Spirit and In Integrity of This Newsletter, **The Christianville Spirit is and Forever will be Non-Politically Aligned with any Candidate or Leader.** 

On January 1st (New Year’s Day), Not even 24 Hours into 2025, This was A Truck that Ramped into a Crowd in  

New Orleans, Louisiana. It killed Alot of People! Kind of A Sad Way to begin The Year! Meanwhile, In Washington DC, on January 29thThere was A Helicopter and Plane Crashed in Mid-Air Collision near 

 Washington-Reagan National Airport 

 

Going into The “Love Month” of ++ February, 

In Family News, My Cousin, Anna was doing Some Travelling in Late February of This Year, At This Point, She was Travelling to Switzerland (CH) and French Alps. Would have been Fun to Do with Her. Meanwhile, At Home, My Mom (and A Portion of Myself) was dealing What I referred to "Great Facebook Scam Episode of 2025" in Which My Mom’s Personal Page and Professional Pages were Shutdown. Luckily, I figured out how to Fix It with Technical Knowledge and Research 

In The News, Besides a Plane Crash at Toronto-Pearson Airport on February 17th; A Rare Celestial Event happened in which All 7 Planets were in The Sky after Sunset on February 28th 

While Dealing with The Aforementioned Facebook Issue with My Mom, We Slide into The PTLS Month of  

++ March (Marzo)!  

 On This Year’s “PTLS Holiday” of March 8thI did some Inspiring of My Own because  

It was My PTLS Friend, “Eli Fonzys First PTLS Holiday knowing that They have PTLS. It was My Honor to spend their First PTLS Holiday with Them. 

In Celestial News, on March 18th, Stranded Astronauts who were Stuck on The International Space Station for 9 Months Finally came Home to Earth at 4:57 PM Central Time on March 18thQuite a Historical Event to Watch LIVE! 

In Other News, There was a 7.7 Magnitude Earthquake in Myanmar and Bangkok, Thailand on March 28th! 

After All That Excitement, We Move into  ++ April 

In Early April, I encouraged My Lil’ PTLS Sis, McKenna to Start going to What I referred to as  

A “Special Needs Art School” where McKenna was (and, Still is) literally The Happiest that I have seen Her! Livin’ Her Best Life, as I say! Very Proud of Her! 

In The News, Pope Francis passed Away on April 21stLater resulting in The First American Pope being Elected. 

Meanwhile, on April 29thThere was a Electrical Blackout in both France and Spain. 

++ May  was A Big and Historic Moment for Me as well as Us here at The Christianville Spirit Because, on May 28th, I wrote My 900th Newsletter. That was Quite a Milestone for Me Personally! In The News, Robert Francis "Pope Leo XIV" from Chicago elected as New Pope on May 8thMarking History as The First American Pope. 

Meanwhile, A Shocking Story out of Switzerland (CH) where There was a Glacier Collapse in Alpine Town of  Blatten (CH) Switzerland on May 29th 

A Sad and “Not on The Bingo Card” Start to The Month of 

++ June as Our Dog Sadie Good-Lord's Health fell Very Quickly and Having Her to Sleep on June 12th! We Love and Miss You, Sadie Good-Lord! In The News, In Washington DC, There was a Military Parade (Very Similar to France’s Bastile Day) to Celebrate The US Army’s 250th Anniversary on June 14th. I will say, It was Pretty Cool to see All The Things They showed! 

In Sports News, Oklahoma City Thunder won The First NBA Championship in History on June 22nd. Very Exciting Moment! 

At This Point of The Year, which I refer to as Mid-Year, I invented a New Holiday called Mid-Year's Eve (June 30th) and Mid-Year's Day (July 1st). I explained The Following Way, 

    My New Invented Holiday, Mid-Year's Eve.  

The Mid-Point of The Year 

End of The First Half of The Year 

(If in School) End of Old Grade!  

Last Day as an (X) Grader! 

 

My New Invented Holiday, 

Mid-Year's Day.  

The Mid-Point of The Year 

Second Half of Year Begins 

(If In School) New Grade! 

 

Happy Mid-Year! And Happy ++July! 

We enter into July and Mid-Year Point with My Mom finding a German Shepard/Wirehaired Terrier that was 6 Months Old on July 14th and Named Her Abbey Grace. 

Funny Enough, She is like Sadie Good-Lord sometimes. Oh and Of Course, A Few Days later, I Tripped and Fell before Walking Paco and Abbey. I was not paying attention to Where The Lines of The Leashes were, and Paco was pulling a bit too. Again, Very Minor! 

Meanwhile, in The News, There was A Huge Flooding Event that occurred over Independence Day Weekend in The Hill Country of Texas. The Guadelupe River rose 27 Feet in 45 Minutes in Kerrville, Texas. Also, “Not on The Bingo Card” Passings to Mention!  

Famous Singer, Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22nd 

Famous Wrestler, Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24th 

 

Now, We enter into My Birth Month of 

++ August 

Where I turned the Ripe Young Age of 38 Years Old! That was Hard to believe too, 38 Years Old! Another “Not on The Bingo Card” Event happened at The End of August.  

My Brother and His Romantic Person (Known affectionately as “The Lady Friend”) got Engaged. They weren’t Exactly  

My Best Selection for My Brother’s “Grand Romantic Storyline”, If I was in Charge... But, Anyway. 

In The News, (Political Story Alert!), There was a Shooting at a Catholic School in Minnesota on August 27th. 

In The World of Travel, It was a Big Deal because The Newest Cruise Ship out of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, The Star of The Seas set Sail as  

“The World’s Largest Cruise Ship” with 200 Influencers. 

For The Record, Star of The Seas is bigger by a Few Feet compared to Inspiration of Icon of The Seas! 

 

++ September started with Exciting Events here in Christianville where It was been Two Years since The Opening of +“Christian’s World Amusement Park”+  which opened on September 5th (2023) and +“Ski Christianville”+ opened on September 15th (2023) 

On September 20th, Home Country (USA) Culture Zone opened at +Christian’s World+. 

Meanwhile, in The News, (Political Story Alert),  

Conservative Radio Host, Charlie Kirk passed away.   

Politics Aside, He was a Very Genuine Person and Helped as well as Inspire Alot of People.! 

++ October was A Big Month of Celebration because It was My Brother, Michael’s Birthday!. 

 Here at The Christianville Spirit, On October 4th, I entered into My 19th Year of Writing! Very Proud of That! One Year Away from 20 Years!  

Meanwhile, in Family News, Grandma Honey’s Dog, Jaz passed away on October 26th. Sadly, I kind of Knew that would Happen, because The Day before, It seemed like Everything was going Wrong, Technical Issues at PTLS Foundation HQ; Grandma Honey’s Dog being Sick; and Of Course, A PTLS Friend of Mine having a Life Scare. All in One Day! Crazy Man! 

Anyway, in The News, on October 12thThere was a Shooting at A Bar in South Carolina. Meanwhile in Weather News, The Strongest Hurricane in History, Hurricane Melissa hit The Island of Jamaica on October 28th as a Category 5 Hurricane! Yes, Really! 185 MPH Winds and 215 MPH Gusts! 

++ November was Certainly a Month to Remember because of an Event that Christianvilleians hold dear to Their Hearts.  

It was a Historical Anniversary for Christianville and Christian’s Best Friend’s Festival!  

In 2025, Christian’s Best Friends Festival had It’s 

 (20th Year!). It was a Marking Achievement for 

 Our Great City of Christianville. 

In The News, Political Story Alert (PSA!). Sometimes I hate doing Political Stories but, For The Sake of History and Only for The Sake of History, I have to. The US Government had to be Shutdown for The Longest Time in History at 44 Days all The Way from October 1st to November 12th. It hit Alot of People Very Hard, most notably The ATC-Men, Av-Nerd speak for The Air Traffic Control, In other Words, The People who controls Where Airplanes Go!  

Meanwhile, in Sports News, Canadian Baseball Team, Toronto Blue Jays were in The World Series for The First Time in 32 Years. Sure, They didn’t Win but, They were in It. So, In My Opinion, They won in Marking History.  

 

And, Finally, We get to ++ December! 

Now, I will save you and Not Write about Negative News Events because I feel that You do not deserve that as Your Year Ending. I think that We have had Enough of The News and Negative Things.  So, Let’s End The Year with Something I’m calling, “Choose Your Own Adventure” 

I am including Three Newsletters for You to Adventure with and How You would like to End Your Year! It’s sort of like An Imagine, Only Better! But, Don’t Forget to Come Back for The Ending! 

 

++ Choose Your Own Adventure

Welcome Back, From Your “Year-Ending Adventure”!  

And, Now, For The Finale! 

But, I genuinely hope that You, My Readers, had a Good Year and Believing for an Even Better Year Next Year.  

And, I can’t wait to see you back here for Another Year of Uplifting, Encouraging, and Inspirational Newsletters to come in 2026!
