This . . .
Another Thanksgiving has come and has now went. It was a good day. I mowed the front yard this morning. After one pass, the riding mower let out a loud excruciating groan and then died. It didn't sound good. It is kind of sad to think it may have mowed it's last. All the neighbors were gone today, but there was plenty of family here to help push the mower up the hill to it's resting place. After a moment of silence, we went inside and ate turkey.

That . . .
We put up "The" Nativity Scene today as well. The main crew consisted of Nathan, Elliott, my brother-in-law Brian, and myself. Taylor was cooking the turkey, my sister Jeanette was helping mom cook the best Thanksgiving Day Dinner ever, Tarah was holding Elijah and helping to properly align the nativity characters, while Amy and Lee Ann caught a nap. The stable was put up with care, the camels, wisemen, sheep and shepherds all looked just right in their places and Mary and Joseph were stategically placed with an angel looking on and the "Star" giving it's light. There was only one problem. The baby Jesus seemed to be a little too far back in the stable. Think about that for a minute. Everyone and everything placed just right, but Jesus too far in the background.
Selah.

This is That . . .
Tomorrow we are all heading for Little Rock to watch the Razorback game at Nathan and Amy's - "Go, Hogs!" Then tomorrow night is "Fire in the Night" . . . a prayer meeting from 10:00 p.m. til ? at Journey in LR. Saturday is my grandson Elijah's Birthday bash - again at Nathan and Amy's. I think all of the relatives from both sides of the family will be there to celebrate Eli's first birthday, so I am going to try and behave myself.
Right now, bed sounds really good . . . thank you, Jesus, for a blessed day . . . later.
