Much needed rain

As East TN is being poured on with much needed rain, we are remembering the communities of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.  They were devastated by wild fires this week and are in need of prayers, healing, and eventually recovery.  The fact that we don't have our leaves raked doesn't seem that important in light of the recent events.

All-powerful God, increase our strength of will for doing good that Christ may find an eager welcome at his coming and call us to his side in the kingdom of heaven, where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God, forever and ever. ~AMEN.

Thanksgiving wishes

Home for Thanksgiving

Everyone will be home for Thanksgiving, and some extra friends here too.  Planning on all the usual, plus the kids' favorite desserts. Also planning a breakout mystery on Friday, not shopping at all.  Since Bogdan is on call, I fully expect a call from work just as we're sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner, yes it's happened before.

Marian loads her Friday song onto YouTube, so be sure to check out her channel.  She typically chooses the song at the beginning of the week, then by Friday has it loaded onto YouTube.

Anna has chosen her classes for next semester and looking forward to it.  Gabriel spent the weekend at a ultimate frisbee tournament in Dallas. They both are loving college.

Miracles Happen!

108 years in the making, miracles happen, anything is possible!!!
Too bad Harry Caray wasn't there to experience it.
