NoThanks – Day Eleven
I had another long day on the road today so this will be day three of a very short thankful post. But really, what I have to be thankful for today doesn’t require a lot of words. I am thankful for all those who have served in the military so I can enjoy life and…

Tonight I’m thankful for the many great moments I had today, a portion of which included both my kids. And that’s all the writing I can muster. I’m whooped from all those great moments today. So whooped I couldn’t manage to take my computer out of the bag so I’m writing this on my phone.…

Katie and I are going to a college open house tomorrow morning so we’re hanging out in a hotel room in Southern Virginia. It was a long (but fun) day and I’m totally exhausted, but I don’t want to blow my record before we’re even a third of the way through the month. So today’s…

I don’t have to worry about missing a favorite show or an anticipated program. Also, we’ve gotten to where we…

Today I am thankful that I can worship any way I want to without fear of persecution. I am not a fan of “religion”. Never have been. Religion has been responsible for way too much destruction and hatred throughout history. Soooo not what Jesus was about. What I am a fan of, however, is faith.…
