 <\/p>\n

In a couple of days we will all be with friends and family celebrating Thanksgiving. \u00a0If that is not the case for you, I wish you a warm and great Thanksgiving, if you’re near me, come on over, trust me everyone else is, we have 22 coming for Thanksgiving dinner!!! \u00a0So back to my Thanksgiving thoughts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have so much to be thankful for;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The greatest decsion of my life was the day I asked Jesus to come into my heart and life and take over. \u00a0I’ve wrestled with Him for control most of the 54 years since, but I finally surrendered and it’s been a lot smoother sailing since then.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m married to the most beautiful, caring, kind and intelligent girl & woman! \u00a0She is truly the love of my life!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She has teamed up with me to have the most incredible family, three great kids, (adults now), and they have given us 6 grandchildren! \u00a0The Holidays are great when we can all be together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve been blessed with some wonderful friends. \u00a0Jack Graham has been such a great friend to work with teaching and running workshops together, he really makes me laugh! \u00a0Jim Haverstock has been the brother and friend that has been a constant reminder of character and class! \u00a0Jim Begley helped me start His Light Workshops and remains a dear friend. \u00a0Now that my parents are gone my brother Homer and I are what’s left of our side of the Fortney family, \u00a0I really love him! \u00a0So many other friends to count, Carl Turner, Charles Stanley and many many others! \u00a0I’m so blessed!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love to make images, and hold a camera in my hands, and I’ve been blessed to be able to do it for 47 years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am so blessed that I get to write and share with others and doubley blessed that you read this stuff! \u00a0I hope it blesses you! \u00a0Thanks for coming along and Happy Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
