Giving Thanks

I give thanks to God for all of my fellow bloggers that I enjoy reading. I won’t list them here because they are all listed in the right hand column anyway. A special thanks to Todd Rhoades and Gary Lamb for infecting me with this blogging bug.
I'm thankful for the dedicated guys and gals that are out there giving their best in media ministry for the glory of the Lord.
