Well it's Thanksgiving today in the US of A. I'm actually feeling pretty good. Let's see... no work, I'm still in my robe, I can smell the turkey, the Cowboys will be on this afternoon, I can have leftover turkey sandwiches for a few days... and there's probably lots more that I'll enjoy today.
I'm not sure about the decision to have three NFL games on today though. I mean, hasn't anybody ever heard of "too much of a good thing"? I like football, but somebody's always gotta go messing with things, and the next thing you know, it's ruined. Although I am one of the blessed one's to actually get to see all three games, because we have Dish and not Comcast. This also allows me to get the Big Ten Network. My condolenscenses to those of you being held in sportsman's hell by Comcast.
I think part of what made this a good day this year is I am not freaked out about Sunday. It's just going to happen. I know my sermon is not as good as maybe it should be, and we're just going to sing hymns - and out of the hymnal - but I think everyone will be better off with that than if I'd tried to cram everything in and then been miserable. Plus we usually have smaller crowds around holidays. So, it's not that I don't care... but I'm trying to take a more long-term view of things for my overall health and good of the church as a whole.
Well, I think my brain is empty now. Maybe I'll brush my teeth or something.
I would say "have a happy turkey-day," but... I don't like that term, and I have friends who won't be eating turkey. So... I hope you have a nice thanksgiving. Peace.

My brother called weeks ago to see if I was having Thanksgiving at my place. When I told him I was hosting Christmas he was concerned that my sister might want to do Thankgiving and they didn't have NFL Network or HD. The next day his wife sent out an e-mail volunteering to host Thanksgiving, so basically the NFL schedule determined where I was going on Thanksgiving. Although I won't be here, my switch to Verizon everything a few months ago also gets me all three games. And for that, I am thankful. Although Fox needs to get some HD up in here so I can watch the Lions lose in crisp resolution and brilliant colors.
What is up with Fox? We still get the local channels on a rooftop antenna and 15, 21, 33 are clear as a bell, but fox is oftentimes snowy. Although, I hardly ever watch fox anyway. We probably watch 15 or 33 more than anything - and whatever channels Sienfeld reruns happen to be on.
