Nearly 300

Oooh, it's not so regular anymore.  Sometimes huge gaps in my "I will give thanks to the Lord" journal. 

I've revisited this theme again though--In April, at a low time, and re-listening to a sermon I first heard in 2006 and have pulled out again several times. Now, on the door too my kitchen there is a sign reminding me to give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. My cell phone reminds me several times to stop and give things.

I'm a bit of a poophead by dispostion I guess.  I have to fight to be thankful.  I have to learn it.
