Today is Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving, and I certainly have a lot to be thankful for. Sometimes it’s good to actually list your blessings, especially when you feel like things just aren’t going your way. So here’s a list of a handful of things I’m thankful for in no particular order:

• My stunningly beautiful, intelligent, and hilarious wife
• My first child to be born in April
• My two favorite teams playing today- Cowboys and Broncos
• My parents and brother who will be at the Cowboys game, and my sister who is soaking up the sun in Mexico today
• Andy and Stephanie Walz who have invited us over today to eat turkey!
• Finishing up a rather time-consuming paper
• A fantastic advisor with the unique combination of basketball and OAI-PMH skillz
• Funding for my Ph.D.
• A church that Becky and I feel particularly blessed to be a part of
• The class I’m teaching at church on Christian apologetics that seems to be going really well
• My friends, the Hornes, who are moving back to Virginia Beach
• Our beat-up Geo Metro that still runs
• Harding students that are a light to the world
• Hilarious Payton Manning commericials
• The Office
• BBQ chicken pizza at California Pizza Kitchen
