Thank You

Thank you.

I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room awaiting the results of my brother's surgery. As I sit here without the mental energy to think of much, the one thing that keeps running through my mind is how grateful I am for the support of so many of you. 

Thanks again to all of you who have said a prayer on behalf of my family, passed along an encouraging word, or otherwise made it known that my family and I aren't in this thing alone. 

For reasons I hope you understand, this will have to do for a blog post this week.  The blog will be back in full force next week, but until then, please continue to keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.

While I'm here:

this hardly seems significant at the moment, but enough of you shared my hatred of February in general and Valentine's Day in particular to push the blog to its highest readership ever last month.  The blog got 699 hits last month, falling just short of an even number, but blowing away the previous high of 551 hits.  Last February, the blog got 121, so we've come along way.

Thank you all for reading.  Each blog hits brings me one step closer to my dream of using this space to make a living.  In the meantime, keep my family and me in your prayers and I'll meet you back here next week.
