Wow buckmaster, thanks for this post. You're right, we do take a lot of things for granted and this post just made me realize that it's been a few weeks since I last thanked God for everything he's blessed me with: an amazing family, a great job, awesome friends, and more material possesions than I need (even though I want more). It's absolutely breathtaking when you start to think about everything God hassupplied you with.

I'd like to take this time to encourage anyone who hasn't already done so to read the book "Wild At Heart" by John Eldridge. All I will say about it is it is hands down the best book I have ever read and if you allow your heart to embrace the message of the book, you will be a better person through and through. You will definately be thanking God for everything you have after reading it. I think that any man who loves the outdoors and being a little wild will love this book.
