Happy Thanksgiving to all

This time of year, I figure a correction to my usual state of gross ingratitude is in order.  In that vein, I have composed the following Top Dozen list.

Things I'm Thankful For:

1. Salvation (well, you know that one has to come first!)


2. Faithful-and-Long-Suffering Wife.


3. Beloved-but-Expensive Daughter.


4. Christian friends I can trust - even if I don't get to see them very often.


5. Two (count'em - two!) great churches.


6. Food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live without having to worry much about it.


7. The freedom to go where I want to go and do what I want to do.


8. The U.S. Military (see #6 and #7 above).


9. Bible Study Fellowship.


10. The pets in my house.


11. The wildlife in my back yard (yes, even including the tarantulas and scorpions).


12. Being Texan.
