Day 417 - August 6 - D-day
Well, I've spent the last 36 hours or so racking my poor brain for something for which I am thankful that begins with the letter "D". Unfortunately for all of us, I appear to possess something of a negative frame of mind; and this glass-half-empty brain seems intent on only dredging up things that no person in their right mind would be thankful for - "despair", for instance, or "depression".
Not to say that my mind is there, but rather that the letter "D" has proven to be a harder struggle than some of the others.
I kicked it around with Joelle for a while. She offered me "deep dish pizza", "ding-dongs" and "Dadda", for which I honor her, but these weren't quite the things I was seeking. But finally, after she realized what a poor thinker her father really is, my daughter (there's a D-word for which I am truly thankful!) trotted out "deliverance".
Now that I'm thankful for! The very thing that we as believers rely upon, and which we as Connor's family look forward to extremely! So here's to Joelle, who was able to succeed when her old man couldn't!
Thanks, Daughter!

Dogs! When everything goes wrong in your life, it's nice to have a dog to show unconditional love! They are one of God's best creations!
Praying for you, Eric! Praying for you all!
I've been at hospital for 2 days with mom so I haven't had a chance to catch the blog.
My C - word, would have to be CPR...I am greatly thankful for that.
And my D-word would be DAY. So blessed are we with each new DAY God gives us.
For "D", I can't help but think that you are one great "dad" and that the "desire" of all our hearts to become more like Christ in every way--and also for Connor to be healed.
I'am thankful for our Divine GOD who watches over us.

I am thankful that Eric is so dedicated to all of us, that he continues to keep up with this blog and allow us all the opportunity to be a part of Connor's journey.
Thank you Eric!

DOGS was this first thing that came to my mind too. I love my Golden Retriever, Chloe and my Schnoodle, Mocha. They are fun, funny and occasionally, a pain in the DERRIERE!
grateful "daughter" of the king....thanks joelle
I'm grateful for DIRECTIONS, oft times when I lose my way spiritually if I will just BE STILL and LISTEN, GOD will point me in the right DIRECTION of course all in HIS time, not mine. :) I'm also grateful for DREAMS!
Praying for your family ERIC!
