Pray for Mumbai. Pray for India.

Remember to pray for those affected by this tragedy as you go about your holiday today and this weekend.

Happy Turkey Day to you

No matter what you have planned today, no matter who you have to hang out with, no matter how good or bad the food is, and no matter how long of a tryptophan-induced nap you take, from me to you and yours, have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Let’s pray for Thanksgiving travelers

I heard this morning on NPR that AAA is estimating 475 deaths this holiday weekend and 26,000 injuries.

Four hundred and seventy five deaths. Twenty six thousand injuries.

Do those numbers not just floor you?

They do me.

So, right now, wherever you are, pause for 60 seconds and pray for those traveling this holiday weekend. Pray for safety and security for those in the air and on the road. Moreover, let’s pray that those crazy family meetings where there is tension and anger and, sometimes, even hate, go better than anyone could ever expect or hope for.

Are you traveling this weekend? How far? How can this little community pray for you?

Ken Block and Gymkhana

Have you heard of Gymkhana? Whether you have or haven’t, watch the video below and prepare to be blown away by this guy’s mad driving skills.

It’s Thanksgiving week. What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

So, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? Going home? Staying where you are? Serving those less fortunate than you?

I want to know what you’re doing for Thanksgiving.

Me? We’re hitting up Wendy’s family for lunch and the obligatory football game/nap time. Then we’ll go to my parents’ house that evening for more turkey.

Mmm. Turkey.

What’s your Thanksgiving look like?
