- Obligatory first item, though I do not regard it as merely obligatory, is my salvation. No matter what crap I find myself in the midst of or what kind of things I've done to my existence, There's always the fact that I am saved by Grace, and that power comes through faith, and faith comes from the Word of God. Fantastic.
- I actually mentioned this at the dinner table today... call me a nerd, but I'm really thankful for technology. Despite the naysayers that call it the doom of mankind, technology has made life so much easier (if not too easy) for privileged nations like the US to go on. Technology has saved probably millions of lives by now, and it *literally* paves a cultures way through the pages of history. I'm glad America is in the top tier of advancing nations. (Oh, and that we are free to do so. Obligatory freedom plug.)
- I am probably most thankful for--in the personal sense of what has been personally bestowed upon me--the blessing that Gateway Worship has been to me. They are not even my second family; as far as I'm concerned, they are pretty much just as important to me. I thank God personally for each person and their influence on my life.
- About a year ago, I went through a stage when I thanked God specifically for prompting the existence of music. I believe it is the closest thing to direct communication of souls that can be heard by a human ear, and God made it!
- I just remembered.. I am unbelievably thankful for my hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, taste and all that stuff. I love God's world.
- I'm thankful for my pedalboard. ^_^

Obligatory Thanksgiving Post
So I know it's (as of now) 20 minutes past Thanksgiving officially, but I felt motivated to write a list of what I'm thankful for. You know, the whole schpeel.

You're not a nerd. I'm thankful for technology too.
Though, as of right now, I'm most thankful for God's faithfulness... 'cause, hey, we're all human. We're doomed to fail at some point or another... multiple times. But God's always there, even after possibly screwing Him over countless times, which I'll openly admit to doing on occasion.
You post touched off an idea that was brewing in me.
You know what I am thankful for?
That it is by grace alone, faith alone, Scripture alone, Christ alone and for the glory of God alone.
Whatever that "it" is.
