THANKSGIVING and FOOTBALL

Thanksgiving...a time to give thanks. Thank you, God, for our lives, our family, our friends, our parents...and on and on. How lucky are we? I for one, feel VERY LUCKY, and very blest...

After the prayers, come the food and the football. "Mancow" was on Fox news today, saying how far we have gone away from the original meaning of Thanksgiving. The word itself should give us a clue as to what this day is.

Now, we go to the table and stuff ourselves. EVERYONE serves too much food. We think one vegetable, one salad and a turkey isn't enough. There is so much food left over you can send some home with all the guests, and have enough for meals aplenty. Then, as if that wasn't enough, we wait about 28 days, and do it again at Christmas. No wonder we have to make New Year's vows...to lose weight certainly is one of them!

Well, I will not go to a game on Thursday. Nope, I will wait until Friday...Texas plays A&M the Big XII Championship is on the line for Texas. We used to have this game on Thanksgiving. Don't you still miss it on that day? I do. It was a wonderful time to go to the stadium...usually the bands had a nice Thanksgiving theme, and the fly over and all the other wonderful things that 83,000 can share! Always brought a tear to my eyes when the missing man plane left the formation.

Say your prayer, then Hook 'em Horns!

God Bless America!

God Bless our Troops!

God Bless our President!
