I am so grateful for my wife Lauren. She has been so solid through the events over the last few weeks. We've been doing everything together these last few weeks, before I get trained on my new job. It's going to require many days away from home, but it will be worth it. We'll make it worth it!

We visited Detroit last week for State Convention. It was really nice to spend the day with her (and baby) away from home. We've been having great conversations and often share deep thoughts with each other.

We're always looking for the good, both in circumstances and in people. We do acknowledge evil when we see it and in the political world, we don't-have to look very far. But there is always good around the corner and we rejoice!

I love that we're always talking together. That's why we got married, because of our conversations. And here we are 13 years later, still having conversations!

After loosing my old account, I was about to throw in the towel (so to speak) and just walk away from blogging. But my wonderful wife encouraged me to continue blogging. She said she thought it was important: and she was right. Not only would I continue blogging, but I would do my best NOT to whine and complain, but express gratefulness!

So my blog is now all about gratefulness, especially when things look sour. I'm grateful my wife encouraged me to continue blogging, never once got on my case about the financial loss, has been smiles and happiness all the way through. We both acknowledge that the Most High has his hand in this and it's very comforting.

So... this post has been brought to you by lturner. Without her encouragement, I'd likely would have walked away defeated. Instead, here I am! Still going at it! Grateful for my wonderful wife!

Bless the Most High!
