A Few Random Thanksgiving Thoughts… November 21, 2007

There is a lot of randomness going through my head that I want to share…

• I Thessalonians 5:16-18 says that Thanksgiving should be a year around deal.
• Clemson plays South Carolina this weekend–I am REALLY excited about this years game.  Of course I believe the Tigers will prevail!
• I read this story this morning and wanted to throw up–seriously, this is gross!
• Scott’s picture of his little boy’s T-shirt was AWESOME!
• Lucretia spent all day yesterday on cooking for Thanksgiving…when I got home the Mac & Cheese was already in the fridge just waiting to go into the oven!  YEAH!
• Melissa, Lucretia’s sister, will be making the white chocolate fudge cake for dessert tomorrow–God is so good!
• I am planning on running around seven or eight miles on Thanksgiving morning & then DESTROYING some food for the rest of the day!
• I made a grilled cheese sandwich last night and it was awesome…I honestly believe I am the best grilled cheese sandwich maker in the world–that is NOT pride–it’s merely confidence.  :-)
• I spent SEVERAL hours yesterday discussing through our Christmas services at NewSpring and I had a headache when we were done.  Folks, my mind was BLOWN at how passionate the group is around me in regards to presenting the Gospel…and TRUST me when I say that we are going to be attempting some things for this service that we’ve NEVER done before–EVER.  It is going to be one of the most UNIQUE experiences ever!!!
• We will be launching our promotional plan for the Christmas services this Sunday…and trust me, it’s much better than fruitcake!  (Actually, I think getting my hand stuck in a blender might be better than fruitcake!)
• Friday I will be sleeping in–unlike the millions of abnormal people who will wake up at dark-thirty to ravage the shopping malls seeking to save money while LOSING SLEEP!  Seriously, I don’t understand you people!!!
• This will be Charisse’s first Thanksgiving…should be a blast…pictures to follow on Friday or Saturday.
• A pizza delivery guy came to my door on Monday night and when I opened the door the smell intoxicated me–I hated to tell him that he had the wrong address and that I hadn’t actually ordered a pizza!
• Thanks for those who have been praying for my back–it is getting better!!!  :-)
• Go Tigers!
• If you didn’t read Clayton’s follow up post to his “pitfalls for young lions“…you should go here and read it now…great stuff!  (It’s entitled dangers for seasons veterans)
• I REALLY am excited about what God has done in our church this year and what I believe He has in store for 2008.  I will be recapping 2007 and casting vision for 2008 on Sunday, December 30th and I believe that service will be electric…because…in addition to celebrating and anticipating YOU will actually be selecting the songs our band does…which…if you haven’t e-mailed in your favorite song that our band does you need to do so RIGHT NOW!!!
• That’s about it–Happy Thanksgiving!
