		<description>Thanks everyone!  I just found out I won, because I&#039;ve been preoccupied with insurance companies after my dad insisted he had to go to WalMart on the one day it snowed is SE Texas and had a wreck with a FedEx Semi.  He&#039;s fine.  His truck didn&#039;t make it though.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!</description>

		<description>I am thankful to God for His many creations. I am thankful for all the divine connections I&#039;ve made both in the literary arena and that in my church community. I am thankful for the gift to help others, in what ever capacity that I can. 

This year I am performing and directing my inspirational stage production: God Knows My Heart! I will be collecting nonperishable food items and warm clothing for those who are experiencing economic hardship this christmas season.  I will be donating a copy of newly release christian suspense, Love Found Me, to a blessed audience member! HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

		<description>November 25

Happy Thanksgiving

I know that Thanksgiving has barely arrived in the United States but here in Germany, we are up putting the finishing touches on what we started cooking last night. It&#039;s 8:13 a.m. here and I for one am multi-tasking as usual. I am making potato salad and blogging at the same time.  However, I wanted to drop a line to all of the readers and say have a blessed and safe holiday as well as tell you guys what I am thankful for, so here it goes. I am thankful for my relationship with Jesus Christ, my husband and my wonderful children - who all slept in our bed last night and almost knocked me off the bed.  I am also thankful for my students that I teach, they bring me so much joy, even though they can be quite lazy at times.  Last but not least I am thankful for my team (editor, graphic designer, publicist and reviewers) that helps me to get these books done and all my readers, new ones, acquired ones and the ones to come. Have a bless day everyone and don&#039;t forget to take some time to tell God just how thankful you are.
 
Much love,
C. M. Jones</description>

		<description>I am thankful because last year this time I was not well. I was suffering from asthma and other respiratory problems and had to run back and forth to the emergency room. Then I was diagnosed with a staff infection and hospitalized. After coming out of the hospital I was on antibiotics at home which confined my movement.  Life was difficult and trying, but I thank God because I overcame that.  Although I continued to have health challenges and in June I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis.  I am thankful because I am alive, I am feeling much better and I am able to spend time with my family tomorrow.  I look forward to continued healing and restored health.  That is why I am thankful.</description>
