Thanksgiving is tomorrow; I worked out extra today so that I won’t feel so guilty tomorrow when I’m packing in the calories. Tammy, Shelby, and I will be heading out to my folks place in Bargersville, IN. and enjoying a good part of the day with my parents and my sister’s family. Meals at my Mom’s house are always very interesting. She has this unique ability to turn a simple basic dish into something from another planet. You’ve heard of old people putting stuff in their Jell-O like fruit and even the occasional carrot – Mom thought she’d give celery a shot… I wouldn’t suggest it. I won’t soon forget the year we had bright green stuffing – mmmmmmm.
I am anxiously awaiting sinking my teeth into some moist turkey, and I get the added entertainment of seeing what Mom has up her sleeve this year. That's what I love about her, she will always keep us entertained and talking for years to come.
I do have one question I want to pose for any unfortunate individuals that happened to read this blog. What do you prefer "lumpy" or "smooth" potatoes? I’m a "lumpy potato" man myself. Leave your preference in the comments.
On to a completely different topic. I was reading Perry Noble's blog this morning and he gave a link to here. Very eye opening and a great reminder as a pastor to guard my heart, mind, and my time. I've always known that pastoring is challenging and stressful but I had no idea that for every 20 people who go into the pastorate only one retires from the ministry. Ouch.
This Thanksgiving I'll be thanking God that I am in the ministry and working with a great team of folks at FFC. Happy Thanksgiving.
