Sincemy last post on prayer as gratitude, I’ve continued to ponder this virtue. Given that gratitude brings with it a calming peace and a blossoming joy, why is it so hard to cultivate gratitude, let alone remain in a state of perpetual gratefulness?

This is the Chief in the North Newsletter, a dream a decade in the making. I’m Seth Keysor (or MNchiefsfan if you’ve been around a while), and I’ve been writing about the Chiefs for over 10 years.
