It is rather easy to write a  Thankful Thursday today because we have a lot to be thankful for as believers.  How blessed we are as Christians to know our hope is in Christ! Today is known to many as Maundy Thursday, it was the day that Jesus had the last supper with the disciples before his crucifixion on Friday.  Friday is often referred to as Good Friday, but it was certainly a day full of pain, torment and suffering for our Lord and Savior.

There is great debate among some of my friends if true love really does exist.  As the author,writer, editor and father of  the Sons of Thunder and I celebrated our sixteenth wedding anniversary in January, I was reminded that true love does exist.
