He is so good in every situation--He deserves our thanks and praise when often we are only complaining. Thanks so much for sharing!<BR/><BR/>PS-I completely agree with your comment on my blog! Ron and Mike look amazing (plus they're my favorites!). It's so funny that you bring up the no shirts in the beginning... I think about that every week. I think it's to make the first week more dramatic!

We have no idea just how good we have it, in almost every respect.
