One thing for which I am grateful that applies directly to this forum is my discovery of blogging five years ago. I dove in headfirst to the world of the "Bloggernacle" (the online Mormon group blogging community), and I started writing this blog in 2006. At first, I posted sporadically, then weekly, then three times per week, and now daily (except Sundays). I commented on lots of blogs, very frequently (lol), before focusing on writing this blog.
All of that leads me to express my gratitude for all of you who read this blog. As I said recently, I don't publicize it actively (since that's not the main reason I write it), but I am thankful that there are people who read it regularly and whom an occasional post seems to help. I truly do appreciate the comments and responses I get - even almost all of those with which I disagree. I appreciate the civil tone that prevails in those comments, and I appreciate the opportunity to make new friends I otherwise would not have the wonderful fortune to know in any traditional way.
So, on this Thanksgiving weekend, I say simply:
Thank you! You have enriched my life and that of my wife, and I am grateful for you.

Up until this moment I have been a lurker only on this site, but I have to respond to this post, and say 'thank you' back. Many of your posts resonate with me. You think deeply about the gospel, rather than just taking things at accepted face value, and I appreciate that so much. It seems like so many people in the bloggernacle are deep thinkers who end up thinking themselves out of the church, but your thinking is coupled with faith and trust. Good stuff for me to contemplate. Thanks again, and keep on blogging!
