A festive and fun beginning of the Christmas Season. We light a Christmas Candle, share a festive brunch, then sing Christmas songs with Paul and the Moment Musicians. Those for whom the notion of a Divine Grandfather in the Sky kind of God, who dishes up generous portions to His favored ones no longer works, must wonder how to do Thanksgiving. The notion of such a God fielding the power surge of thanksgivings all on one day brings a smile. The important thing is to never lose the sense of gratitude and to allow expressions of gratitude for such graces as life offers.
Thanksgiving is the purest form of prayer.
This is not, alas, about the insect kind of fly. It is about the zipper kind. Every man has fly stories. Some have phobias. Everyone knows what it means when someone says, Your barn door is open.
