Social media has created some fads with days of the week being times to profess certain things like, “MCM…Man Crush Monday” or “WMW…Woman Crush Wednesday.” It took me a while to figure out what those acronyms stood for…actually I didn’t figure it out. Finally, I asked someone and they told me. So, I wanted to devout my Monday, November 4th 10K reasons journey blog to my everyday crush, Gary.

I took the day off work on Monday just because I wanted to spend some time with him. So, if you keep reading, I want to give you a MUSHY ALERT, this blog is all about him.

My 27 Thanks:

1. Gary loves the Lord with all of his heart.

2. Gary spends time with the Lord on a daily basis.

3. I hear Gary praying over Judah and me all the time.

4. Gary is a hard-working man. He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. He is handy and can fix everything.  Every time Judah accidentally breaks a toy, he replies, “That’s okay…my daddy can fix it.”

5. Gary is respected by his peers. People like to be around Gary because he is kind and polite and respectful.
