?Sunday: Thank You, The Simplest Prayer. It doesn’t matter who or what is up there, who or what is responsible for the ins and outs of our lives. The simple fact is life is amazing and pretty darn good. We have reason to be thankful, and embracing that gratitude, saying “Thank you” to the world, is perhaps the simplest and more important prayer that we have to offer.
