Yep Vern, there are a great many 'villes' around here. Went to Knoxville for Thanksgiving dinner, and on the way back I noted Knoxville, Maryville, Sevierville, Asheville, Rogersville, and Greeneville...and that was just over a 100 mile drive. I'm sure there are even more.
And yes, even with terrorism, wars, taxes, a crazy congress, a rockstar president, and a pitiful economy...true thankfulness is about focusing on what we do have, not obsessing about what we don't. Clothes, food, a warm place to sleep, safety, friends, family, churches, jobs, hope...given what we do have, complaining about the rest just seems petty, doesn't it?
Happy Thanksgiving all!!
