As part of #LightTheWorld today, I'm going around the dinner table to tell you why I love you.
#MerryChristmas
to you guys.
First up is @tannerguzy, for the work you do inspiring men to be *men.*
I appreciate your influence.

Likewise @BrettCainBooks, who is a great example of having the capacity for charitable love and incredible violence.
You make me put more effort into that side of myself.

To @JAEbberts, who started a lot of this online, open-faced, bareknuckle faithfulness, and showed us the path to walk in this space.
Thank you for being there when my sister died. Your counsel was helpful.

To @lepetitete, same thing as your husband, and I appreciate your fearlessness in your maternal example. I read a lot of your tweets to Schaara. We've had good discussions because of them.
To @larknap, the way you've shared stories about your marriage and family over the last few months has impacted me profoundly. I've started changing the way I interact with my kids and how I focus my time around them because of what you've shared.
I'm so sorry for your trials.

To @jaredgarrett, sometimes it is easier for me to have faith and make good choices when I know my friends have had it harder than I have, and done better despite that. That's you. Thank you for being a bro online and off.
To @JPBellum. You're a piece of work. But like some of the men mentioned above, you're out here making this space worth defending, and I've been called to repentance quietly many times by points you've made in discussions. Thanks for enduring.
To @Matthew_7_14, you're a phoenix pulling himself out of the ashes, and those ashes are called "Florida." Ooh, burn.
But in all seriousness, seeing you survive and thrive in the wake of what you've been through is very humbling. I admire your strength.

To my Coltbros @Theryanwestshow, @Jsimz23, and @RussIsAnOkayGuy, I appreciate our shared fandom, and always being able to banter about our team. Merry Christmas.
To @JReubenCIark, I love the haymakers and the sass. Keep it up, we need the pushback.
To @big_brutha, thank you for tuning in for my work on the airwaves. The support is very validating and I'm grateful someone is listening. Ditto to @Bro_TheCat on that score.
A very Merry Christmas to @JDVoices, who's been very personable online and easy to talk to, whether about books or movies or parenting hardships (and parenting joys.) I'm fortunate to consider you an Internet friend, thanks for the interaction.
And last for now, @Laurathecellist, our resident musical firebrand, who in many ways is living the life I wish I had embraced many years ago. Thanks for sharing your talents, and for getting out here in cyberspace to throw punches when needed. Merry Christmas.
