It’s just not Thanksgiving without football?
While it might be missed, we could enjoy the festival without watching a game.

As summer turns to fall, the hectic back-to-school schedule resumes. Again, a family is faced with choices of how to make use of its time. Of all the things we can afford to put off (yes, even sporting events!), the one thing we cannot afford to put off is the one thing needful—time with our God and Savior Jesus in His Word.Remember the Ants and the Lizards
