T-Day, 2007

Once again it is time to take the butchered bird, stuff it full of great things to flavor it with, and roast it in the oven until it falls apart! That bird, along with all of the fixings such as brocolli-rice-cheese casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, two types of stuffing (regular and oyster), cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, sweet potatoes, and Hawaiian sweet bread rolls, will make our main course. Of course after all of that (if anyone dares to have room) there will be chess pie, pecan pie, and pumpkin pie to fill out the meal. This does not mention the snacks that will permeate our house during the day (we eat our meal at ~ 4:00 p.m.) such as sweet pickle-beef-cream cheese rolls, sliced beef summer sausage (all out of venision this year), cheese and crackers, is it any wonder why we gain so much weight over this holiday? If there happens to be any leftovers from all of this then we will be having such delectable dishes as turkey and noodles, turkey salad, turkey soup, and anything else that can be made from leftover turkey!
So what else is left to do on T-day? Well first of all (and of course most importantly) is to give thanks to God for all of the blessings and tribulations that we have experienced during this last year. You may be asking why thank God for tribulations? Simple, without tribulations you have no opportunities to be blessed and to learn from God what he wishes from you. I try to welcome tribulations as I try to recognize them as the chances I have to grow closer to God. That does not mean that I look forward to or that I desire more tribulations, it merely means that I am attempting to always find the meaning behind those obstacles that are placed in my walk with God.
Most people will spend today watching football games that seem to populate the television from sunup to sundown. Not so at our house, we don’t follow football (much to the chagrin of my cohorts in the two fantasy football leagues that I laughingly participate in). Instead we will be watching movies such as Ocean’s 13 and Ratatouille as part of our Blockbuster Total Access service. Since signing up with Total Access we have been able to watch numerous movies and t.v. series and we feel that we are really getting our money’s worth with them. We are able to watch many movies that we otherwise may have overlooked merely because we felt we needed to use the service and picked a title we may otherwise would not have given a second glance.
