1. I’m thankful for pets that bring joy to our lives. Pictured above is Nemo our crazy indoor cat. We also have two outdoor cats and two dogs - Lexi and Bandit. I love those fuzzy, furry, guys. I almost forgot my hamster Zoe as well.

2. Lost Timber the awesome Bible camp I’ve been involved with most of my life. My home away from home. My summer ministry. The greatest place ever. I’m looking forward to it 10 months of the year.

3. Beth Moore Bible studies! We started her newest one tonight called Stepping Up. It is a 7-week study on the Psalms of ascent - Psalms 120 to 134. I think this study is going to be very challenging to me in getting out of my comfort zone and going farther with God.

4. I am thankful that letters are still used in communication. While email is quick and easy nothing beats a hand written letter from someone you love.

5. That messes are able to be cleaned up. If I had to live with the mess I make when working on a project like the quilt-a-long I think I would go crazy. LOL. It is time to clean up the mess.
