Thanksgiving

          For longer than America has been a nation, Thanksgiving has been a time of reflection and giving thanks to God for the many blessings he has bestowed upon his people and this land.  In keeping with that tradition, I offer the following.

          I am thankful for my loving wife of 33 years.  I am thankful for the two sons she has given me and I am thankful that those sons are honorable and honest young men.  Because of those blessings, I am a proud husband and father. 

          My only regret is that I am far from home today, in Alaska.  However, as the rains pour down in the Pacific Northwest, I am thankful that my wife and sons are high up on a hill, out of reach of any possible flood, at our family home in Washington State. 

          I am thankful for the Founding Fathers who bravely and wisely created this nation and thereby allowed me a voice in government.  But, a voice is useless if no one is listening.  I am thankful for the readers who now faithfully come to this blog.  When I started in March of 2009, I was lucky if I had five readers in a day.  I didn’t keep records back then, but I don’t believe I had two hundred monthly readers that first year.  Readership has fluctuated, but the trend has always been higher.  Today I am thankful for the nearly one thousand readers who visit website every month and who visit our other venues.   

Keep in touch
