Celebrate our Beautiful Country
Every day, I give thanks to have been born in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. Our country is one of the most beautiful on Earth, with terrain ranging from blazing hot deserts, to grassy prairies, to high snow-capped mountains, to chains of beautiful blue lakes.

Black Lives (Don’t) Matter

Properly Grateful…Joy of Giving
I like to think that I count my blessings every day, not just on Thanksgiving Day. This year, I've had numerous occasions to reflect on the manifest blessings in my life, and my country. I was fortunate to be born in the United States of America, which has, since its founding in the 18th Century, …
