thankful

Recently, I’ve been emailing back and forth with a bunch of people that I’ve met because of this blog. I started thinking, I’ve gotten to know so many people that I would have otherwise not have the pleasure of knowing.

I just want to thank all of you who frequent this blog. What started as something ‘to do’ has become a little community of friends.  I appreciate all of you and thank you for being a part of my life.

I’ve gotten to know many of you and look forward to the many others I will get to know.

My life is richer because of you. Thank you.

Thanks to all of you who were praying over yesterday’s banquet. It was an amazingly encouraging event.

When all was said and done we raised over $33,000! Praise God for his goodness.

I’m not just excited about the funds (which go towards scholarships, operating budgets, getting a van and more), I was also so impressed with the people that attended. It was great to fellowship with such fine folks.

And that’s not all. Many people that attended are still interested in giving, it just takes time to pray and think it over, so our goal of raising$36,000 is very much attainable over the next few weeks.

I am very thankful for all those who helped, attended, and prayed over this event. Thank you all!

In preparation for Turkey Day 2006, I’ve been thinking about what I’m thankful for. It’s a shame I choose to do this once a year, but there’s always 2007.

The top three things I’m thankful for:

1. My Savior and my Wife – without these folks in my life, I would be nothing going nowhere.

2. My Kids – such a source of joy and dirty diapers in my life

3. My Testicles- yes, I do enjoy being a man created in God’s image and it’s the only thing keeping me from joing the AoUtLJ [Association of Unics that Love Jesus - better known as the sleepy, sweater wearing, boring Church Guy cult).

So what are your top three things you’re thankful for this Thanksgiving?
