I’m a list maker. It keeps me focused on what else needs to be done. I love crossing them off one at a time until there is nothing else needing my attention.
But the following list is not one I will ever be done with, nor am I crossing these off. It’s a list of things I’m thankful for in no particular order:
- A faith that has held me when I couldn’t hold it
- A God who is more stubborn than I am
- Denise—she is self-explanatory
- A family that works hard, plays hard, and gives much
- Hilarious grandchildren
- The chance to see the future unfold in the eyes of Trevecca students
- The ability to write and enjoy books
- Where I get to live
- Driving a 10-year-old car past 250,000 miles so the university doesn’t have to buy me a new one
- Three families whose large gifts have made Trevecca much better
That’s 10. I’ll stop there for now. I am a very rich man.
