Be Thankful....and Say So!

I have become something of a fan of Joyce in recent years. When she talks about how she was called to a ministry at (I think) 45 years old, and the struggles it lead to, I was sold. I don't agree with everything she says, but most things speak to me. I personally think the only real prayer are those of thanksgiving, and, perhaps, contrition. Are you familiar with Andrew Henry? He has a YouTube channel titled Religion for Breakfast. He also teaches classes online, but I think they are behind a paywall. He doesn't just address Christianity but teaches more comparative religion in general.

A Christian friend of ours has been blessed by her teachings and videos for quite a while. My Wife likes her as well, and we have listened to her when we catch her on TV. I have never heard Andrew Henry, I will have to check him out. Thanks Don.

Henry is not a preacher, but rather a teacher. Very different from Joyce.
 
No offense, you can believe whatever you like, but rumor has it that she is worth over $8 Million. So I would be inclined to write her off as a typical TV Evangelist.

I'm thankful and I say so. But one of the things I am thankful for is the ability to know a Con when I see one...

"Come, Ye Thankful People, Come" was written by Rev Henry Alford in 1844.The tune is 'St George's Windsor by George J. Elvey, named for the chapel where Elvey was organist for 47 years. The tune has been associated with Alford's text since publication of the hymn in the 1861 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern. It is performed here by The Scottish Festival Singers.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come​

Just a couple of thoughts:

An old Jewish prayer has the words. “Thank God I was not born a woman” to which I have to add; because if I were, I would not have met, fell in love with and married the wonderful woman I have.

Another bit of thanks is a very small daily prayer that thanks God for allowing me yet another day to get it right, another day to feel even more proof that my faith in Him is warranted and his faithfulness is real and complete.

"Thanksgiving Weather Forecast" ​


In the pre-Thanksgiving rush, we have received an early weather report from our in-house weather reporters.

Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.

During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.

A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator.

Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be
expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.
