When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discoursed thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by.
Hi Y’all! It’s Thanksgiving week and oh, the blessings we have! I so hope that all of you are as thankful as I am to be born an American and in this great state! I am thankful for my faith and my church family. Thankful for my family and friends, the roof over my head, and the food in my belly.

Umpteen years ago, I entitled a speech—cleverly I thought at the time—”From Adam’s Rib to Women’s Lib.” I provided more details than audiences wanted to know, explaining that with such an expansive title, maybe I wouldn’t wander too far off track. It was admittedly a weak joke, probably not warranting so much as a grin from women who were digging in heels on matters relative to equality.
