”...in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I love Thanksgiving. Have you noticed that thankful people are much happier people?

When something tragic happens, often one of the first words spoken is, “My God.” Sometimes it’s asked as a question: “My God, Why?” If you’ve said that, you’re in good company. Jesus said it while hanging on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

What a legacy has been left by the Grahams! I can’t imagine the sadness Billy must feel after saying goodbye to his amazing wife of 65 years.

For about two months we’ve prayed that God would lead someone to buy our house. A two-hour round trip commute each day has a way of wearing you down. On Saturday we’ve had our most promising house buying prospect yet.
