Well the smell of turkey, onions and celery cooking are starting to permeate the house as Tammy & I begin preparing for our guest who will begin arriving around 1100. With 21 friends & family coming I suspect the house will quickly become a symphony of conversations. I am truly grateful for the relationships that have blessed my life. I am also struck by the stark contrast and similarities between last Sunday evening at the community meal FCC served at Loaves & Fishes and Thanksgiving dinner at our house.
