Giving of Thanks

In celebration of those Pilgrims and Indians, every descent blogger who has time should say a few things they're thankful for. Here they are in no order (with exception of the first 2 of course)...

1. Jesus! I'm sayin...if the rest of my life completely sucks till the day I die then He STILL will get all of my attention because the fact that I deserve death but He died for me instead is enough.
2. Family! I'll start off by saying how I have THE coolest parents in the world. They put up with a lot of crap from me in my younger days, and even though I think I've gotten smarter over some years, they still love me and I've never had to worry about a thing. There's no way to ever pay back parents for all the monetary and emotional and physical love they put into a kid, although I sure wish there was a way! The only thing missing in my family might be a dog. Just sayin. *cough*
3. The Disney Channel! There are so many shows that I watch on tv, most of them are trash. And not that the disney channel subtracts fewer of my brain cells, it's just that it's all a nice little break from reality. Sonny with a Chance, starring the dreamy Chad Dylan Cooper has quickly become me and grace's favorite tv show. Also Phineas and Ferb is hilarious and they make any bad day better. They're having a Christmas vacation special on December 11 and i'll surely cancel all my plans for it.
4. Football! It has been such a long season, kids and it's almost over. My gamecocks have won some and lost some and forgot to show up to some games. The Panthers have had their most dissapointing season since 95 but they have supplied me with a few more bucks and for that I'm thankful. I love a good football season at any rate.
5. Gaffney, SC! My good friends band played a reunion concert at fbc gaffney this weekend and not that I had to realize this, but I realized how blessed I was to have grown up in Gaffney. There are a good handful of families from my town who'll be eating thanksgiving with an empty chair this year, but our community is better for that fact. It's a good thing that everyone knows everyone and that when death happens, our town can celebrate life together. During the concert I just had to thank Jesus for knowing what it means to go HOME. Not everyone is lucky enough to know what that means or they imagine what it must feel like but dont get it.
6. Zac Efron! watching him on Letterman right now and hot dog. Thanks, Jesus.
7. My brain! WHY am I literally the only person on this planet that still has one? well, there are a few others who are exceptions, but all in all, I'm the only person that makes any logical sense anymore.
8. Duke basketball! atleast somebody can win.
9. Swine Flu vaccines! I got mine and that disease wont ever bring me down!
10. The Cabin! There's a lot of love up in here. Us 3 residents laugh a heck of a lot and we do nothing but watch the Hills and the City and eat pizza all the time. It's true, though. As far as me goes, all school work must be done outside of this house, otherwise it doesn't get done. Lots of people come over all the time and good conversations and bible study sessions happen. Also, we have a Charlie Brown tree and a real tree with real lights in front of our window. Beat that.
