Thanks for your living out your calling in faith. You are doing so well, remember to be and stay humble. This is a true Christian virtue and sometimes your comments lauding yourself have made me think of giving this reminder. So there you have it.
As you share your recipes with your audience even cooking time can be considered work (at least as far as the IRS is considered). Enjoy the time off and happy Thanksgiving!!
Erick, Thank you for being honest. You are one of the best voices I go to so I can understand complicated political topics better. As a conservative and a Christian myself, your nuanced opinions are appreciated. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Appreciate your perspectives and insights on politics and life. Our lives are better if every day is a day we can find something for which we are thankful and fell blessed.
We appreciate your candor and opinion even if we don't agree at times. Keep it up and I'm disappointed people would attack as opposed to just changing the station.
It's because of your faith-based viewpoint that I keep coming back to see what you have to say. I don't always agree with you but many times you've changed my mind about issues despite my stubborn tendency to hang on beyond reason. I'm so looking forward to your Christmas article/sermon--they are Holy Spirit inspired and such a blessing to the body of believers. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Erick, you have the greatest combination of friendship with good politicians, friendships with your listeners. I think we all appreciate the balance that you have with all you care about. You are doing it right. You already know how much I appreciate you but there are a whole lot of others who appreciate everything you do and the way you do it. Bless you.
What a beautiful thing it is to use your God-given gifts of communication, insight, and common sense to enlighten, hearten, chastise, and uplift the millions who hear you each week! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family as you do His will. Soli Deo Gloria.
Appreciate you Erick, my family history started in Cozad, Nebraska and I have lived West of there my whole life. So I see the world a bit differently than you folks out East. Yet I am delighted to have found you many years ago and have gained perspective from you life and you thoughts. Have a good Thanksgiving my friend I value what you do. -brent
Kind of long, but a wonderful piece about keeping Thanksgiving in perspective, even with relatives and friends who voted "wrong" by columnist Michelle Malkin:
"...Newsflash: Even amid a heated campaign season, global jihadist terror and economic insecurity, there is more to life than #WINNING political arguments.
It shouldn’t be a struggle to avoid yelling about Bush, Clinton or Trump as you pass the sweet-potato casserole. Don’t get mad. Get perspective. Here, let me help:
If your children are alive, free and healthy, count your blessings and say a prayer for all those parents spending the holiday week in hospitals, hospices, clinics, jails or funeral homes.
If you can’t think of something nice to say to the person sitting next of you, trade memories of the dearest, departed loved ones you share a connection with who are no longer sitting at the table at all.
Pick up an instrument and play music together or sing some old hymns of Thanksgiving (“We Gather Together” was always my favorite).
Take a walk, breathe fresh air, go out on the deck and make fire pit s’mores (or use the gas grill).
Show the young ones at your gathering how to make rubberband stars, advanced paper airplanes, origami hearts or crochet snowflakes.
Get silly. Play “Charades” or “Spoons” or “Balderdash.” Laugh at yourself and laugh with your relatives.
Don’t take family time for granted. Ever. You never know when your time will be up. It would be ridiculous if the very last, parting words you traded with an elderly uncle or sibling or cousin you rarely get to see were “You’re an idiot for voting for (fill in the blank)!” instead of “I love you.”
Look up at the stars. Remember how small and insignificant you are in the universe.
Finally: When you gather ’round the turkey, try not to be one..."
This is off topic but I’m not sure where to put it.
In 2023 Colorado joined 6 other states like CA IL and even New York in signing on to the national popular vote compact that awards those states electors to whoever won the pop vote.
Wellll, Trump won the pop vote so did Trump technically win all those states that signed on to that pact?
Thanks for your living out your calling in faith. You are doing so well, remember to be and stay humble. This is a true Christian virtue and sometimes your comments lauding yourself have made me think of giving this reminder. So there you have it.
Merry Christmas. Please keep sharing your faith. I am sure that you will hear: "Well done my good and faithful servant."
Thankful for you!

Blue Sky is “BlueSki” (bloo-skee) as in forum for leftist/Marxists, comrade!

THANK YOU ERIC. For your love for Christ, your integrity, and your thoughtfulness. You are definitely appreciated. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Their pact only goes into effect when and if states with at least 270 total electoral votes join.
