This week I share a story about a Derryberry Thanksgiving from when I was 13. Enjoy and have a great Thanksgiving. 

To celebrate ten years of speaking and to give my message a chance to grow into a bigger audience, I’m attempting a first for John Paul Derryberry speaking engagements, to host my own event, the first ever Sunday Night With John: Live.

I have lost my ability for the moment to present an articulate educated opinion about the role of authority and how authority has to walk a fine line to maintain the respect of the people it’s leading. 

The stubborn standoff was started and I realized the stubborn streak runs deep in the Derryberry clan. 

The tweet read, “Bernie Sanders seems to be the most honest, but no way would I vote for him, I’m Republican.” It’s irresponsible to dismiss a candidate because they don’t identify with your party.  

My urban farmer friend gets side tracked with giving me some advice. 

I’m competitive and still want to think there are moments where I can chase down my youth, smile at it, and say, “I’ve still got it.”
