Hello, 2012!  It sure did take you a long time to get here.  It feels like forever.

But, by God’s Grace, we’re still here, living in the greatest country on His green Earth.

Last night, my bride and I were watching a Gaither program on our local PBS station, that was taped at the Billy Graham Training Center.  The great Rickey Skaggs was on the program and he sang a song, whose words touched my heart.

And I as sat down later and read about this Blog’s accomplishments for 2011, the words hit me right between my eyes:

Somebody’s praying

Somebody’s praying for me

Mighty hands are guiding me

To protect me from what I can’t see

Lord I believe

Lord I believe

Somebody’s praying for me

Angels are watching

I can feel them

Angels are watching over me

There’s many miles ahead ’till I get home

Still I’m safely kept before Your throne

Lord I believe

Lord I believe

Angels are watching over me

Well I’ve walked barren wilderness

Where my pillow was a stone

And I’ve been through the darkest caverns

Where no light had ever shone

Still I went on ’cause there was someone

Who was down on their knees

And Lord I thank you for those people

Praying all this time for me.

Thank you for supporting me this year.  You are my experts, my critics, and, truly, the wind beneath my wings.

Today is my 640th post.  I could not have written one, with your prayers and support.

As we head toward Election Day, November 6, 2012, I resolve to continue to fight the good fight, to write about the country I love, and the American values that have made her great.

I’m going to keep my chin up.  You do the same.

Now, please click on the following link to see what we have accomplished together in 2011.

I love y’all.  God bless America! – KJ

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 58,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 21 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
