Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are some of the things that I’m thankful for, in no particular order:

  • My wife
  • My kids
  • Our house
  • Our church
  • Our Savior, Jesus Christ
  • My parents and extended family
  • My in-laws, and their help with watching the kids
  • That we live in the United States of America
  • That we live in Utah Valley
  • That we live so close to family
  • That we have sufficient for our needs
  • The Orem Public Library
  • Brigham Young University, especially the family study room at the library
  • My wife’s job at BYU
  • My writing career, and the opportunity to be an indie author
  • Good food, especially on waffle day
  • Good weather, even in November
  • The mountains and nature, which we have so abundantly here in Utah
  • That we have a working vehicle that can fit all of us
  • That we live so close to so many temples
  • That Dallin H. Oaks is the president of the church
  • That we have the Book of Mormon, in addition to the Bible and other scripture
  • That Donald Trump is the president of this country
  • That I don’t have to be politically correct on my own blog
  • That I still have a good relationship with my Democrat parents
  • That so many conflicts in the world appear to be trending toward peace

  • That I have so many great readers!
