Nicely done, being Grateful is a disappearing trait amongst today’s Population.
The only problem I have is relating to Liberals who in my experience are NEVER grateful of anything. They only feel Joy when they can take away the Freedoms of those they disagree with, namely People like us.
They wouldn’t be Grateful if Obama succeeded in loading us all into Cattle Cars since it would just fulfill only one tiny item on the list of Grievances.
Liberals are ISIS without the Throat slitting Knives, instead using a compliant Media and Politicians to do their dirty work for them, and dirty it is.
Perhaps you could Post your Article here and get a wider Audience who would appreciate reading it.
I do wish I had the skill set to write so entertainingly, but alas, my Wife always reminds me that I allow myself to be a bit direct in explaining my differences with the Factually challenged, AKA the NYT Editorial Board and the following NYT Reader Comments Section.
I think the NYT has all my Posting Names imbedded into their “Enemies” Database, never allowing my opinions and thoughts to see the light of day.
Or, I’m just a bit paranoid. LOL
Thanks for checking out the piece, KC. I did post it here, by the way:

The aspect of the Grateful piece that was so gratifying is a woman with a stroke reporting that God is so good to her upon hearing my song, my reporting the incident to the Times, and the Times reporting it (in my own words) to a much, much wider audience, on newsstands across the country and a worldwide Internet readership (just a bit wider than FR).
And through the process of getting published, I have personally become acquainted with the composer of the song, the young man who illustrated the piece so beautifully with a cornucopia guitar case, an atheist professor at an Ivy League school who I now correspond with, and many, many other people. Even found out that a lady a work, a newly hired executive, loved the piece so much she read it out loud at church to her congregation, and other Christians at the office stepped out to identify their faith openly. It helped get me hired last November to sing and play for a very large group of Muslims, who were thrilled with my music, admitting they don’t have that kind of music in Islam. This Muslim audience was gathered in a room you may have heard of — the storied Grand Ballroom of the legendary Plaza Hotel in New York City. I brought the house down. Just this week I was just asked by them to return and sing again in November 2015. All due to a little piece of writing, KC.
Yes, God’s name and His grace through suffering was reported by the Times. Maybe it’s time you stop focusing on what’s wrong with the Times, and do some thinking about how you communicate your ideas... or even the ideas themselves. And work on your writing. Take it is a gentle, loving rebuke.
I’m happy you engaged me in this matter; it was a good reminder even to me the effect this piece has had on people.
Truly blessed, and duly grateful,
Silly
