As I set here at my desk in my house, I am surrounded by noise and things going on. Heidi is in the room watching tv(or in reality flipping the channels trying to find something to watch), Eli is in his room practicing playing his drums; then the phone rings and the noise from the washing machine can be heard from where I set.
But even with all this going on I can't help but say THANK YOU LORD!!! The tv is only flipping channels because the woman I love (and the one God gave to me) is turning the channels. The sound of drums banging is because my son (whom God blessed me with) is playing them. My house, my job, my possesions, every aspect of my life - all have been given to me by my incredible Heaven Father.
As we approach Thanksgiving Day - I pray we just stop at some point and think about all the things we each have to be thankful for. Most of all we should be most thankful for the gift of salvation; I know I am!

November Joy Group Dinner & More
This past Thursday, Nov. 4th, we had a wonderful Joy Group Dinner in the Family Life Center at the church. It amazes me sometimes just how much effort and love our group puts into make food to bring to our dinners. For most of them I think it is representative of the love and effort they have put, into their servant hood to Christ, over the past several years.
Pastor Dale was our guest musician the past Thursday, and he did an awesome job; of course I didn't expect anything less, when one of God's anointed servants - serves. Pastor Dale also sang a song that I feel goes right along with what I was saying before; the song was "Thank You For Giving to the Lord" and I would like to thank all the people both present and past that unselfishly give of their time, talents, and fruit. Because of what people give - others receive and sometimes that means they are able to accept and receive eternal life.
I would also like to mention how moving the "Concert of Prayer" was Sunday evening. I really do not have words that are honoring enough to explain what I felt that evening. But I will say this - it was truly a blessing to be with brothers and sisters, my family, and BE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD!!
