ThankChrist Turns 2

Two years ago I launched ThankChrist.com, hoping that people from all over the world would share their stories of thanks and blessing with others.

Since launching, tens of thousands of people from over 70 countries have been on this site, and have read stories of God’s goodness. There have been a total of 514 posts!

I thank Christ for this site, and I pray that it will continue to grow and be used for His glory.

God bless,

Jon Batarse

God bless,

Anniversary Dessert

Yesterday was our anniversary, and we celebrated by going out to our favorite restaurant. We had some of the best desserts ever. I thank Christ for the great time and the great food!

It’s My Birthday

Today is my birthday.  Many questions and memories are going through my head.

One question is, “how did I get here so fast?”  The answer… I don’t know.  When I slow down enough to think about my life, it all seems to be flying by.  As I look back, though, I feel blessed.  Thank Christ for the life He has given me, and for the life to come.  I can honestly say that I’m excited to see where He leads me from here.
