Thankful 2006

I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! I hope the pet turkey I photographed in N Tacoma survived the day!

I'm grateful for the opportunity Thanksgiving brings to stop and reflect on the many things there are to be thankful for in this crazy world. I'm so very thankful for my wife, daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren. I'm thankful for my extended family spread geographically from Tacoma to Washington DC (in one direction) and from Tacoma to Cabo San Lucas (in another). I'm thankful for my friends who have sacrificed (and would sacrifice) so much for me and who make my work possible. I'm thankful for the meaning and purpose that Jesus Christ has given my life. I'm thankful for the guiding light that is the Holy Bible, and for my friends who follow it authentically. I'm thankful to live in a city where God is at work.
“Hey! I don’t have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I’ve failed as much as I’ve succeeded ... but I love my wife, I love my life, and I wish you my kind of success.”
