Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and we have a lot to be thankful for in our household.

I am thankful, first and foremost, for God and what He has blessed us with.  This year has been full of many changes, and He has been faithful through it all.

Second, I’m so thankful for my wife, Amy.  She is a rock I can lean on, and I love her so very much.  We both have had the biggest change of our lives this year with our son, David.  As I write this, he still isn’t here, but will come into this world by this time next week.

That little prayer is one a lot of people know from their childhood.  It is usually said before you eat a meal, but those six words are powerful no matter what.

I say those words knowing God will take care of us with what we’re about to go through.

Thank you for all the kind words, thoughts and prayers in these past few months.  Please keep them coming as we prepare for David’s arrival in the next few days.  I’ll continue  to update you as best I can.

One quick update before I finally crash for the night.  The clock is ticking for our baby boy to come into the world.  Friends and family, you’ll receive updates via e-mail.  I’ll post here with less-vital information when time permits.

I turned on my Xbox 360 tonight, and for the second time in less than two years, I got the red ring of death.  I think my days of the Xbox are over.  We have a Wii, which we dearly love.  I know it probably won’t break anytime soon, so I’ll try to sell my 360 game collection over eBay.  If I can make some decent money off of it, I’ll see about investing in a PS3.  My HDTV screams for HD games. 

I gave Microsoft glowing reviews in a January 2007 post for their customer service in replacing my 360.  I thank them, but my thanks will now turn to “no thanks” as I’d rather have functional hardware in lieu of customer service.

What do you think?  Keep just the Wii, or bite the bullet on PS3?

Wow … Since my alma mater Alabama has been in a slump these last few years, not much has been said by friends and cohorts.  But let my boys put LSWho out of its misery and win the SEC West, and they come out of the woodworks!

You know what?  I don’t talk a lot of trash, but you haven’t had a reason to be bitter in a while, and I haven’t had a reason to rejoice.  So …

ROLL TIDE TOLL!!!!  SEC WEST CHAMPS!

So many people wanted change.  Guess what?  You got it.

Lord Hussein (I will not call him President Obama since so many people think he’s Christ himself … cult followers …) has been elected, and he wants to own your life.

Spread the wealth?  Create a “national citizen security force?”  Let me touch on both of these subjects (and then some):

First, a national citizen security force.  He either has never heard of police and law enforcement, or he wants a security force similar to that of Saddam Hussein (Oh!  There’s that name again!) and other extreme Middle Eastern leaders.

Spread the wealth?  Yeah, I really want to give this man more of my money.  Wait … it won’t go to him.  It will go to the millions of lazy freeloaders that won’t help themselves.  No thanks, Lord Hussein.

You think the economy is bad now?  Just wait.

My children are now poised to see our great land turn into a socialist nation.  How will they know that by working hard they can provide for their families and themselves?  They’ll work hard, but most of what they earn will go to other people.  Where’s the motivation to keep working hard when you think you’ll have it all handed to someone else?

Tax increases just for the rich?  Think again.  Those of us in the middle class will also be taxed more.  For Democrats, it’s all about creating a larger government.  It’s all about making you rely upon it more so it can control your life.  You need more taxes to make that dictatorsh … er … government grow.

I’m furious tonight.  I’m furious that Americans have decided we’d be better off helping freeloaders.  More taxes on businesses will cause them to fold, causing other entrepreneurs to not want to start one of their own.  That’s the backbone of our American Dream and economy.  More companies will leave, and many areas will dry up because of unemployment.  America will fall just like ancient Rome.  Lord Hussein is counting on that, just like others across the world.

Will my children know what it’s like to have the freedom to speak out?  To own a gun if they desire?  To let their potential and freedom to make their own choices grow beyond their wildest dreams?  I hope so, but I’m willing to bet Lord Hussein will try and change our Constitution so they never do.

Lord Hussein, you WILL not take what I work hard to provide for my family.  You WILL not take my possessions just so some lazy welfare-collecting bum can be waste of humanity.

I’m an Air Force veteran.  I love the military.  This man will do just like Clinton when I was in the service.  He will reduce our armed forces.  He will cut funding because he loathes our men and women in uniform.  Any man who refuses to place his hand upon his heart and honor our national anthem is no American patriot.

It’s Biblical that the end times are coming.  I honestly believe we’ve seen many of those prophecies come true.  I also believe electing Lord Hussein … this false messiah … is putting the final nails in the coffin of America, if not the world.

I’m angry with all the ignorance in this nation, but I’m also faithful that God is in control.  All this is meant to be, and God will protect those who believe in Him.

I have put all of my faith in him.  I sure can’t put any in the citizens of this country.
