QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Christianity is the true worship and service of the true God, humankind’s Creator and Redeemer. It is a religion that rests on revelation: nobody would know the truth about God, or be able to relate to him in a personal way, had not God first acted to make himself known. But God has so acted, and the sixty-six books of the Bible, thirty-nine written before Christ came and twenty-seven after, are together the record, interpretation, expression, and embodiment of his self-disclosure. God and godliness are the Bible’s uniting themes.

Giving Thanks in November

Tonight I'm thankful for our old, well loved and slightly abused gas grill. This grill is at least 10 years old and still kickin'.  We have prepared a lot of meals on and entertained a lot of friends with this poor old thing.

When we were raking leaves and doing yard work last weekend, one of my witty sons  declared that the grill appears to be "returning to nature."  It was immediately dubbed and forever will be known as  "the feral grill. "

Sometimes, when we're walking through the lawn and garden section of our local "big box" hardware store, we check out the new models.  Side burners, rotisseries, built in storage, marble sideboards call to us.  But in the end, other than looking a bit on the wild side, there is nothing wrong with our good ol' feral grill.  So, we keep walking by the new models, thankful that some things do outlive their "expected life span."

Speaking of outliving its expected lifespan, maybe we'll talk about my beloved old car before the month is over.  I'm thankful for it, too!
