I sure hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I enjoy that day for many reasons, but the obvious one is the opportunity to pause for a moment and realize how thankful I truly am.

Actually, it’s not a bad exercise for perspective any time of the year. Maybe you were too busy during Thanksgiving to reflect on your life and how God has blessed you. So…do it now.

I love living in this Valley. Like our Country, we have a lot to work on, but it’s still a great place. This picture reminds me of the beauty that surrounds us DAILY. I took it with my phone while on a ride up in Simpson Park, just a couple miles from the church building.

I’m extremely thankful for my Michelle, our daughters and new son-in-law. On top of that we are continually encouraged by our extended family on both sides.Talk about blessed!!

And one more…I can never say enough about how grateful I am for the people who make Community such an amazing place to worship, serve and live life to the fullest.

Thank you all!!
