Happy Thanksgiving



Hello, everyone. I guess I've just about let this whole year go by without an update. Sorry about that. Between the new job and spending Dad Time with Jackson, some things got away from me.

I just wanted to take the time to list some of the things I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for my family, especially my wife and son. I'm thankful for our church home. I'm thankful for the opportunity I have now to produce Christian documentaries full time.

I'm thankful there are men out there like Roy Moore who are willing to take a stand and simply say that it's okay for the government to acknowledge God. I'm thankful there are still plenty of us out there that know our history enough to know that America was founded on Christian principles.

And I hope many, including some of the liberals and athiests that took Thanksgiving Day off of work, will take the time to reflect on the First National Thanksgiving Proclamation, words from George Washington in 1779:

"Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; Whereas, both the houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me

"to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness!"

Now therefore, I do recommend next, to be devoted by the people of the states to the service of that great and glorious being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be, that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country. "

Amen.
