Happy Thanksgiving, ya filthy white colonizers.

To everyone who complains today…, go suck a deviled egg.

I’m thankful for my ancestors, who were explorers, conquerors, inventors, and ultimately… better fighters. They came to this continent with little more than an axe, a sword, faith in God, and started an empire.

Bless them for giving up a life of comfort and safety to seek out a better existence for themselves and their descendants at the risk of their own wealth and lives.

We owe them a lot.

It was through America that the world was modernized. And it was not the native Americans who did so, but the white man who took a great continent, reaped its many resources, and developed technology that set the world on fire. In less than 250 years, we went from horseback to the moon. That could not have been achieved without the great freedom our ancestors provided for us, knowing that they’d never see it, but trusting in Divine Providence to see their hopes and dreams passed on to future generations.

I won’t go into how we’ve squandered their sacrifice. Because today is a day to be thankful.

And my cup runneth over.

I am thankful to have been born in America and know my Lord and Savior.

I’m thankful for my family and their mostly good health. (BTW my daughter’d health is improving! Praise God!)

I’m thankful for my friends, my enemies, and the many people who work so diligently to keep this great country running. (No not politicians)

I’m grateful for the skills and abilities I possess, including being able to write books and score Expert Rifleman 5x in the Marine Corps. 😉

I’m grateful for you. Without you, my writing would be empty words on a page. You give them meaning by being entertained.

And I’m grateful for life. It is a noble thing to be in the trenches of a fallen world and struggle mightily to spread the Gospel.

I hope tou all have a marvelous Thanksgiving. And a wonderful nap afterwards.
