We're Different

Today at dinner a couple of my roommates and I were having a conversation with a friend of ours, Brian. Brian is really into board games and has about 20 of them out here at school with him. He has even more at home. My roommates were talking to him about certain games and which ones he liked. I realized during the conversation that I didn't know very much about what they were talking about. Now, I have absolutely nothing against board games or families that play them, but as I was sitting there listening to this conversation I said a silent prayer of thanks that our family never had to rely on board games or any other type of media (like movies, TV shows, etc.) to give us entertainment. As a family we were never obsessed with playing board games all the time. We were completely content with just sitting in the living room talking and telling stories or, we could go outside and play sports or jump on the trampoline. We were never the type of family that had a certain TV show that we had to watch every week, and I am so grateful for that! So, I guess I just want to thank Mom and Dad especially for raising us in the gospel and being such good examples to us! Also, I want to thank my brothers and sister for hanging out with me when I was an annoying little kid. Y'all will never know how much that meant to me! I look up to y'all so much and I feel bad for everyone else in the world who didn't get to have y'all as brothers and a sister because they got jipped! So, I guess I just wanted to thank all of you for everything! I love you!
