What we take for granted, someone else is praying for

I try not to take for granted how I am blessed with God, family, friends, and good health. I am thankful for you, my faithful readers. I am truly blessed.

This year, I have to add the PA Office of Open Records to the list. They have restored my faith in government. I realize that the battle has just begun, but I couldn't have gotten this far without the help of many people.

I was really worried about what John Hayes would report in the PG about the OOR's ruling to grant my appeal. In his article, State orders Mt. Lebanon to provide deer hunt details, Hayes alludes to the idea that rough waters lie ahead for me. I had an email exchange with Mr. Hayes yesterday. In my final response, I cc'ed State Rep. Dan Miller. Hayes then backed off.

I want to thank everyone who called or emailed me to congratulate me on the decision. As Karen Carpenter beautifully sang, "We've Only Just Begun." Last year, I wrote It's a Christmas miracle! when the archery program was canceled. Here's to hoping for another Christmas miracle.

Happy Thanksgiving.
