What am I thankful for?

I have been absent from “the blogging” for a bit. For a lot of reasons, but mainly, it is time to get my house in order. I am not going off the deep end and it is not any commentary on the incoming President, I just need to simplify a few things and it has warranted my complete and total attention.

That being said, I have had the chance to really think about the things that mean the most to me. I have a long, long list of things I am thankful for and I can’t list them in order, but will post a few here.

The things I am thankful for are none more important that Gunnery Sergeant William “Spanky” Gibson, who is currently serving in Iraq. Why single this one man out? Click on the link and be humbled for yourself.

I don’t know who said it, but the words are true and deserve some real thought, not only during Thanksgiving but every day God gets you out of bed and you get to walk on American soil…

“Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.”
