Happy Thanksgiving!

During this season of the year, it can seem like Thanksgiving gets passed right on by and Christmas begins. Already there's a station on the radio playing just Christmas music. Black Friday is advertised as some huge deal of deals day. Sometimes it seems like the Friday after Thanksgiving receives more attention than the Holiday itself! Just makes me wonder why we have a difficult time to take time to truly be thankful for what God has given us.

There are so many things to be thankful for. So many people and circumstances and blessings. Let's take moment, a long moment and turn off the football game, the Macy's Parade, and sit down and tell God just how thankful we are. Truly.

Thank you, Father, for this opportunity. May we never forget that You are the source of all we have and all we are. We praise you. May this Thanksgiving day we celebrate be a moment of true thankfulness that's never taken for granted.

Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Crazy Love Book

Do you ever wonder what it'd be like to live life the way God intended? To see what it really means to clean house, fear and trust God for real, to leave everything and follow Him? And to know what it means to be loved by God?


Lately I've been reading a book by Francis Chan called "Crazy Love". I suggest you pick up a copy of this book. It has really challenged me to go deeper, to become the radical Christian God wants me to be and has designed me to become. It's very inexpensive, and if you have a digital book reader, you can download it from the amazon kindle market for a little over $5. At most book stores you can pick it up for around $10. It's worth it! But I warn you, after you read one chapter you won't be the same.
