Happy Thanksgiving
President Lincoln, who established the national day of Thanksgiving, approves this message.
Give THANKS to God for:
Today - for life, for health, for the little things.
Home - for family, for love, for acceptance.
America - for freedom, for the prosperity we take for granted.
Needs - for keeping us close to God.
Knowing You - for loving you and giving you a purpose before you were born.
Salvation - for Jesus, the greatest gift of all.
Hmmm... Sounds like a sermon

Thanksgiving Eve
Everyday literally is a day of gratefulness. For our Creator first, for the strength, the wisdom, the health (good or difficult), for our minds our attitude, (let this mind, this attitude be in you, that was in Christ Jesus).
I'm so thankful for my wife, a friend, the ideal mother to our 3 living sons, and that one we never saw that was miscarried, to our 14 grandchildren living, and those that were also miscarried, to our grandchildren's mothers for what they brought into the family, first themselves, and the genes with in the grandchildren.
Thankful for the food, HE is setting on the table, the roof over our heads, and this country we are in.
God is good, all the time, All the time, God is good.

Full November and December
Isn't it amazing how full our calendar get during these months. Our calendar is literally full, but that is OK. Because, we'll get to see and better know our family. Grandchildren are so special. We had Zach and Will over the weekend. Zach was kind of my buddy a lot. He is a walker, walks, and walks, and walks some more. Cute, oh for all of his little expressions. But I don't think he can out do his brother with the wrinkle nose, eyes, smiles. We sure enjoyed them.

Happy Anniversary Becky and Patrick
Tomorrow, Nov. 8 is Becky and Patrick's 11th Anniversary. Where does time go? We are so thankful for each one of our sons and their helpmates. God has so blessed us.
Thank you Lord for this anniversary. Thank you Lord, for grandchildren, and specifically Will and Zach, whom we will have the privilege of being with for about 48 hours. May we bless God, with our words, actions, in attitude.

Weak / strong
2 Corinthians 13:9
'We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection'
Am I glad to be weak, and you strong? I want to do all things throught Christ Jesus who strengthens me. But in my weakness I can be strong in Him, even if that might be a death bed. Remember Jesus death bed was a old rugged cross.

President Barack Obama
22 hours after rising to work, I arrived home near 2 AM this morning, I got to bed, but rose and went to a Pastor's Prayer time at 7 with fellow pastors in Crane. Met with my reading buddy at Crane Elementary, worked on spelling words today, moved on to a Springfield Pastor's book overview luncheon with 25 pastors.
I was tired from the night of working election, counting ballots from a jammed machine while the nation was hearing the results of democracy. I've prayed and will continue to pray for President Bush, as he winds down, he has done in my opinion what he had to do. The President is in many ways a thankless position. Your liked as long as you are a Santa Claus, and your despised when you are an Authority. Rebellious people in many ways. Called by the Word of God, the Bible, sin.
I am praying for President Obama. May God move into his heart, and awaken the soul to being more like Jesus today than yesterday, but more like Him tomorrow than today.

Election Eve
Crunch time, decision time, I will be working tomorrow the election. A extremely long day at the polls. There will voters lined up to vote by 5:30 to get in at 6 to vote and on to the work stations. Emotions are high, fear is apart of this, but God is not the author of fear. May voters be sensitive to the Spirit of the Lord, and may they vote Life, Truth, and the Way.
We are have a Election Eve prayer meeting, not voting for a candidate, or a party, but that God will be blessed.
"IN GOD WE TRUST"
