If I could sum up the various things I'm grateful for in one word, it would be family.  My lovely wife, Samantha, my children Liam, Lindy, Lief, and Liza, and my Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.  Through all of these individuals I find my greatest joy in life.  And that joy comes through service to my family and the Lord.  Though I fall short daily, it's the daily struggles and the eternal journey that allow us to grow and to become more like our Father in Heaven. As a musician, it's my opinion that Music itself testifies that we have a Heavenly Father who created us in His image, loves us, and wants us to return to him some day.   Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to stir up these feelings more in our family...almost like a rejuvenation and boost for the upcoming year.  Hope you can find the same spark from this beautiful season of gratitude and thanks.
