What Do You Listen To When You Write?

Restorer Sharon Hinck NEW CHALLENGE AND UPDATES

Two days only, today (November 26th) and tomorrow (November 27th) each person who posts a list of things that they are thankful for here, will receive 500 points in the Restorer Signed Copy challenge. The list must be AT LEAST ten items long, and NO LONGER than fifty. :-D Length doesn't factor into the points either. If you list ten things you're grateful for, you get 500 points. If you list 50 things you're grateful for, you get 500 points.

To get your points, make a list and then POST it here in the COMMENT section.

Tonight or tomorrow I should have the standings posted though each of you who have done quests and other things in this contest probably all ready know. There hasn't been anyone who has done something and been disqualified, though there is at least one person with only partial credit for a quest!

So, have fun with family and friends, draw close to Christ, and remember that I am very thankful for each and every one of my internet buddies!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I can't just say 'Everything'? Hehe.
I am thankful . . .

For the room I live in (an attic of a garage- go figure)

That my room isn't QUITE as cold as it could be

That I haven't froze to death (yet)

For the food I eat

That I only have to list five more things

That Dharmi (my sponser child) has been blessed with rain

That I can't catch swine flu two times in a row

That I don't have writer's block (let's see how long THAT lasts)

For good books . . where would I be without them?

For my cat. That ball of fluff brings me more joy than any other earthly possesion.

I'm thankful for:

first of all, God, who showed me a lot this year,

that I was able to spend time with people who are normally away at college

that I've been able to make a lot of friends

Curse of the Spider King (it sounds corny but actually I've been able to meet a lot of people because of it)

That nobody was sick this thanksgiving

that Christmas is less than a month away

for the birthday presents people gave me

for spending a week at Worldview Academy this summer

that I'm able to live in America (which is, at this point, still something to be thankful for)

and for the beauty of his creation
