Thanksgiving in the City!!

Hey everyone, I'm here in NYC watching the Thanksgiving day parade...errr..I mean football...
What a day! I've got so much to be thankful for this year. What are you thankful for?

Today, I was welcomed

Well, today, I was finally welcomed to upstate NY. I'm not talking about being welcomed by people. No, no. I was welcomed by the wonderfully slushy roads caused by the superb northeast winter. (do I sound bitter?) My wonderfully bad tires, and light weight car were no match at all for the slushy, snowy, twisty, hilly road they call Day Hallow. The ditch however was ever so thoughtful to catch me and hang on to me until Steve Carter could come to my rescue. (for those who may not have caught that...I lost control on Day Hallow rd., and went in the honkin ditch unable to get out.)

I was pleased to see there were a large amount of people who stopped to see if I needed help. However, it was laughable that all the vehicles that did stop were cars as small as mine (some smaller).

There were a lot of people who stopped to help out though. That was very encouraging. I guess today two things happened.

1.) As previously mentioned, I was welcomed to upstate NY.
2.) By the chosen method of welcoming me to upstate NY, I was proven I'm still a southern boy by coming in contact with the ditch.

Big NYC!!

I'm here again!! I love New York! I never believed that t-shirt before I actually got to experience it. Now I own 3!!

New York is definitely an awesome place but flying in at night was simply amazing. Even though Derrick stole my window seat after I went to the 2 square ft. bathroom. It was still an awesome sight. A great start to what I'm sure will be a great week.
It's D's first time in the big apple so that will be a fun experience. It'll be like seeing someone go to Disney World for the first time. A lot of stuff to do so it's time for me to get some sleep and get ready for tomorrow!

Tired

Wow what a day! Sundays are a tiring day as it is with tearing down the stage at church and all that, but today was particularly long with the time change last night...I ended up not getting to bed until 4 am. I'm not a fan of staying up late like that anymore. Not fun.
But I do have to say that it is definitely worth it. On Sunday morning it's awesome to walk in and see how God provides for us in so many ways.
First off, the stage we stay in there setting up till the wee hours of the morning is such a blessing. Secondly, it amazes me each week to see how no one who stayed to help set up on Sat. night is falling over chairs as they walk in Sunday morning. Then to top it off everyone stays after and helps tear down. It definitely would not be possible without any of you. Thank you all so very much.
