Well said brother! While much more a newbie than you, I too have been thinking a lot lately (if in less elegant words) about just how much I am grateful for.
It IS a wacky world we live in these days, but I choose to strive in what small ways I can to decentralize, switch to more open source and freedom-centric things in my life, and teach my twin to do the same! I always try to remember that the Lord put us where and when we are, according to His perfect plan… even if we often stumble and usually fail to comprehend that plan.
Best Thanksgiving season wishes to you and your family. Your podcasts are definitely on the list of things in my life that I am thankful for. :)
