Believe it or not, this post is about Thankfulness. Just how, I’ll get to in a moment. My wife and I were watching the TV from our DVR, getting caught up on this new series on the History Channel, called The Bible.

It’s amazing how powerful negative thoughts can be if they hit you at just the right time. Some Christians might call such thoughts “attacks of the devil,” and some of them may well be.
