Thanksgiving

Things I am thankful for:

1. The fact that God loves me and is interested in a relationship with me.
2. My wife - her sense of humor and adventure that we have recently joined together in life
3. My family - my dad's wisdom, my mom's encouragement, the love and humor of my two crazy brothers
4. Nina - the street dog who through providence found a place in my life and heart
5. Freedom
6. Rivers of Life - a wonderful group of Christian brothers and sisters in Fargo-Moorhead
7. Good books - currently in the midst of graduate studies but am reading a book about the life of Claude Monet
8. Knowledge of the fact that God will do a good work through me "I am the vine, you are the branches; If a man remains in me, and I am him he will bear much fruit. Apart from me he can do nothing" - John 15:5
