I can of course name all the possessions I have, but that would be too cliche' (for me, at least). I just thank the Lord that he has blessed me to live in this great country, at this time in this Century. I also think I am blessed to have you around, Jim, you need to come out for a visit. |

I'd love to, but it isn't going to be possible, at least this time around. |

Every day above ground, regardless of how bad I may think they are at the time |

While some people think that possessions make your "rich", I think these are the things that really matter in my life. I'm sure there are others, but these are the first that came to my mind. Our freedom - so many people do not have it, even here in the US Family - you may never realize until they are gone or talk to someone who has never had Good friends - those that you can really call on for the good, bad and ugly Our health - this can go in the blink of an eye. You sometimes have to take care of yourself to be able to take care of others. |

Hey Dog- If you aren't planning a trip to AR in the near future, we have been going there the weekend after Independence day. If Cochise would be interested we could make it a loosly organized event. |

I can't say how blessed I am. Even though, I'm living outside the states right now, knowing that I have a home and family and a church family to come back to is so comforting especially where I've found very few people of my own faith. However, being here where apparent wealth and abject poverty live right next to each other really puts things into perspective on how thankful you really should be. Having a spirit of thankfulness is something that I think is important too. So many times, I've been frustrated with situations here, but just calming down and remembering that it's all in how you handle it helps a lot. So, thanks for the reminder Oldog to keep the blessings in mind, not the frustrations. Take care all. |

Joe- I didn't want to commit you without your permission. We really appreciated the tour this year. I also realize organizing a get-together can take a huge amount of time and wouldn't ask someone to do it without some offer of help. My blessings-My eldest daughter is getting married this weekend. This is the third family wedding this summer. It really is great watching the family grow leaps and bounds like it did in the last 3 months. |

I am blessed by God who loves me and cares about me so much that he sent Jesus to die for my sins and shortcomings. Even though I am totally undeserving, he granted me salvation from death and promises me eternal life. I am blessed to attend a wonderful church and enjoy great Christian fellowship. I am blessed with a wonderful wife and 2 terrific children. I have good health. I am blessed with my own business and the ability to make a decent living. I am blessed to live in the USA. I could go on & on, but I need to go pray and thank God for the many blessings he provides. |
