President Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Day Proclamation
God’s divine appointments are always amazing to me. In my normal daily chronological reading through the Old Testament this morning, I ended up reading 1 Chronicles 16, a chapter just about giving thanks, which contains David’s thanksgiving song to the Lord. It was a divine appointment at least for me, and a great reminder that…

The Humble Prayer of a Ugandan Girl
I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving again. I haven’t had a chance to post here nearly as much as I would like over the last few weeks, but that’s been the story of my days lately. Every time I get so busy running from meeting to meeting something bumps into me with a little perspective,…

Happy Thanksgiving 2011 from the Farm
Happy Thanksgiving 2011 from down over here on the farm. I love the fall in the south, it is a beautiful 70*F sunny day outside (although it is supposed to be something like 24*F in a few days), and Thanksgiving pretty much always kicks off Iron Bowl weekend. If you are perhaps one of the…

Heat of Apalachicola and St George Island :: Friday Feet
Today we had a very last minute invite to St George Island, right across the bay from Apalachicola. This had to be our fastest trip ever down to the coast, no wait, second fastest… we once drove down to our Orange Beach marina for Thanksgiving in 2007 only to find out their wifi was not…

Photo Shoot and Thoughts of Thanksgiving 2009
Thanksgiving is now long gone (and so is the food I hope) but I finally got around to editing a few impromptu photo shoots that happened over that weekend. We often move from holiday to holiday and are “thankful” when it is time to be thankful, and “merry” when it is time for Christmas, but…

Thanksgiving Photo Shoot for a Christmas Card
Thanksgiving weekend is just about to wind down and move into the 25 day rush to Christmas. It was a nice weekend with some nice rain showers and lots of food. I just finished watching one of the more lousy versions of the Iron bowl (if you are an Auburn fan) over the last few…

Giving Up Thanksgiving For Christmas This Year?
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I am sitting here about to turn on the Macy’s Day Parade and for some reason thinking about Christmas and New Years Day and beyond. For some reason this year it seems like we have skipped over Thanksgiving and are bolting ourselves into the Christmas day time. Retail stores are probably…

Auburn United Methodist Church Gives Out 500 Thanksgiving Dinners
If there is one place where the Church should be involved and actively participating is helping those who need help. I had a chance to visit the operation area of the Auburn United Methodist Church food bank on Thursday and they were preparing to give away 500 turkey dinners, 800 bags of fresh corn, milk,…

Blazer is Home the Sailboat Was Beautiful
And, so are we. He was so happy to leave the vet doggy camp that he barked all the way home and has not moved from his bed since 9am this morning. Blazer was at doggy camp because Scott and I took a couple of days off to go down to the boat. Blazer turns…

Thanksgiving is a U.S. Holiday, Maybe We Should Think Global
How far does your Internet connection reach? I am speaking mostly to those of us in the United States, but the question is a valid one for everyone. How far does your blog reach? To the ends of the political borders you live in? To some of us here in the U.S. that might be…

The Thanksgiving Non-Event for 2007 and the Marina
Cooked and carved the turkey on Saturday, check. Made the stuffing, and the baked sweet potatoes, too, check. Sealed it all up in bags to freeze so we could have it on the boat on Thanksgiving Day, check. Loaded the car with clothing, food, ice chest, etc., check. Made sure to take computer to the…

Giving Thanks with Friends for Thanksgiving in Creede
This year we were invited to the home of a couple from church for Thanksgiving dinner. Jack and Jane Sanders were so gracious and the food was delicious. Here is the view from their front living room. This was an especially meaningful Thanksgiving because we shared it with the Sanders and the Sams. Bob and…
