Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that today you and your family have a special and happy day together as you take time to SLOW DOWN and appreciate all the many blessings that God has given. Since we don’t get to sit at the table together and go around during the meal sharing what we are thankful for I wanted to share a few items off my list:
My Savior who loved Me and gave Himself for Me. His love takes my breath away and I can’t wait to see Him face to face.
My Bride who is my love, partner in crime and my best friend. She is such a wonderful mother and encourager.
My two beautiful girls who make me smile & laugh and make me want to love Jesus more.
The amazing people at fresh life. It is a thrill to teach the Bible to hearts that are hungry for God’s Word and so eager to see people meet Jesus.
Skull Church, The Liberty Theatre, Fresh Life Radio, and Fresh Life Groups–all incredible doors of opportunity that God has illuminated and opened in the past year as we have taken steps of faith so that those stranded in sin would find life and liberty in Christ.
Aisle Seats in the Emergency Exit Row. For just that little extra bit of legroom and the ability to get up whenever I want. And “yes,” I am ready, willing and able to help in the event of an emergency.
Technology. Because I believe it exists to make Jesus famous (and because i am a big nerd.)
Billy Graham. Because he has shown what a life looks like that is focused like a laser on the cross. I am inspired to live my life as passionately obsessed with the gospel as he has.
What are you thankful for? Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done (1 Chronicles 16:8)

I am thankful for God’s free gift and that He loved me so much that He sacrificed His only son for me. I have 5 children and I cannot comprehend the pain He experienced watching His only son die in such a brutal way.
I am thankful for a pastor who loves the Lord and teaches the bible in a way that leaves me HUNGRY for more.
I am thankful for my wife, she is my best friend. She has supported me in good times and bad.
I am thankful for my 5 children and how they make me laugh and cry, I pray their love for the Lord grows stronger every day.
I am thankful for living in the GREATEST country in the world, and the men and women in our military who put their lives on the line to keep us safe and free. For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOM.

Thank God for the musicians at FreshLife who model and lead us in praise to our God. I was in I Chron 16 for my devotions when you referenced that in your blog. I cracked up with J Vernon McGee’s comment on Vs 9 – “Singing is an important way in which to praise God. Although I can’t sing, I can make a “joyful noise unto the Lord.” I don’t attempt to sing in public, but when I get in the car by myself, I really let go with a song. It doesn’t sound good even to me, but I like to praise God.”

We are thankful that we have been given the privilege of prayer & are also grateful we can petition our Father in Heaven directly through our Savior, Jesus Christ. Life would be so discouraging without prayer.
We are also thankful Levi, that God chose to impact the Flathead Valley (and beyond) with your awesome ministry and vision for fresh life and skull church
