November 09 Blog
November is one of my favorite months because of Thanksgiving! In our family growing up we used to go around the table during the meal and say at least one thing that each of us was thankful for! I said ‘meal’ but with 2 brothers and 2 sisters as we got older definitely turned in to a feast! Now that our family number has grown to 13 it isn’t just the day of, much of the day before has turned in to cooking and preparing as well. Great times with my family and counting our blessings! Unfortunately, this year I was one of those that literally ate too much and had to run outside to throw-up. Read the next day about others in the paper that did the same thing, just not sure how I feel about it…gotta learn to say no when full but it was that one exception/day a year!
The rest of this month has been spent getting things settled at the house, grading around the house, begin training again, hanging with family, listening to the best communicating preacher ever-Andy Stanley, and just enjoying life!
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. Phil 4:8-9
