Happy Thanksgiving Colonel Burroughs and to the other regulars on this blog.
Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving Col Burroughs and all my brothers and sisters here on VFV. In spite of my many glitches with my internet internet and computer problems, I still am very Thankful to be a part of this great group of warrior Brothers And Sisters. In my research today, I ran across a wonderful look at the many things throughout Bible History that we should be thankful to God for. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Have a blessed day today and always.
