To all of you I say "Thank You"

A close friend of mine is going through some major health issues at the moment. Her trials inspired me to take a moment and tell each of you how much you mean to me. Those who read this blog are teammates, classmates, dorm mates, teachers, coaches, and friends and relatives. Each of you has played a significant role in my life, and for that I give God praise and glory. You have given me godly advice, unconditional love, many prayers, and a shoulder to lean on. Bethanie always gave me a hard time in college because I constantly referred to this friend or that one as "one of my best friends". It is true, God has blessed me with such an enormous circle of friends that I consider to be my best, closest friends. I wish I could even put in words the gratitude and love I feel, both to God and toward all of you. Most of you are hundreds of miles away, but I send you, as best as I can, my love and appreciation.
