Thanxgiving is my favorite holiday! I like to spell it Thanx because it puts the Christ back in Thanksgiving! Christ’s name begins with an X in Greek. Therefore, I give Thanx for the many blessings He has provided me. Here are a few reasons that I love Thanxgiving:
- Faith & My Father’s Gifts: My God in heaven has given me such great blessings and gifts through life in Him… and He makes all the rest possible too.
- Family: I have the greatest kiddos, the most wonderful wife, and even a pretty great dog!
- Food: I just love the Thanxgiving Carbs, pumpkin pie, and the turkey comma that follows!
- Football: You can’t beat The Lions & The Packers on Turkey Day… not to mention a triple dose of the NFL!
- Film: I love a good movie and Thanxgiving usually provides Charlie Brown, Elf, and It’s a Wonderful Life!
One thing I don’t fully enjoy is the whole Black Friday mess… especially now that they are bleeding over into my Hallowed Thursday. Michelle and Kaitlyn are braving the crowds and the chaos while Eli and I sleep off the comma!
I pray you enjoy this blessed holiday with the “F’s” and hopefully not the Black!

Do you know what that stands for? It stands for Certified Personal Trainer… and as of yesterday, I am now one!
