  I Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV) Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

Stop and say 'Thanks!'

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and today is spent frantically preparing for it. The grocery store is crowded in preparation for the huge feasts we pile on our tables.

  As a pastor I am asked many hard questions from time to time. As a spiritual leader I must be ready to give an answer for the complex situations in our society.

In our house, history is probably one of our favorite subjects. Veterans have played a huge part in a lot of various projects that we've been a part of over the years.

Sometimes, on days like today, I wish there was a bit more pomp and circumstance. Veteran's Day, while we celebrate it, it always feel like we didn't do enough to thank our men and women who selflessly serve our country.

Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
