I thank God for my wife, Deb, and daughter Tiffany, and her daughter Morgan, and boyfriend Chris. And for God's ongoing work of grace in all our lives in Jesus. I am thankful for this blog, for Scot's excellent work on it (and RJS's contribution as well). This remains my favorite blog, one to which I need to come back more. (I miss the laptop our daugher had here, and which I could use upstairs. Often my trips downstairs are necessarily too short.)
Thankful to all I've "met" through this venue of blogging.
And thankful for all the good we experience continually in this life through creation and new creation in Jesus. So much to be thankful for.
Scot,
I am so very thankful for your book, The Blue Parakeet, which I finally was able to finish this morning. What a gift. I'll be blogging my response as soon as I can. Finding your blog, and the Jesus Creeders, has been an amazing gift from the Lord, for which I am so very thankful.
Thank you for living the Jesus Creek out in this space with such transparency and good humor and respect ... I am grateful for the way you lead by example.
I am thankful to God for each day and each blessing -- of faith and family and country and freedom and abundance ... and friends at the One T Saloon! ;^)
Dear Scot;
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I miss seeing you on Covenant blogs. Peace!
I am thankful for my Father and the amazing influence he has lived before me. I'm thankful for God's work in my family's life since my brother died. I'm thankful for Scot's book The Jesus Creed and all the truth it spoke into my life. I'm thankful for finding this blog and all the amazing conversation which takes place here. I am thankful for God's grace and mercy.
Now living in Arizona, I'm thankful for the awesome take-my-breath-away majesty of God's creation... and I get to experience it each and every day. From morning hikes in the mountains to sunsets colored in shades that I could never even imagine.
I'm thankful for community of family and friends and Jesus Creed-ers. This blog has preserved my spiritual sanity as we continue to search for a faith community in our new home.
Not many takers here - but I'll add anyway.
Beyond the usual, and of course important, suspects - family first and foremost, job, health..., I am most thankful for the opportunity to think, read, study, converse, and write about important faith topics on this blog. I thank God for bring this to me when I needed it and thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this an outstanding public forum.
thank you jesus for your love and comfort
