As you enjoy family, food, football and faith. Not necessarily in
that order, just remember this. We celebrate a day in October 1621 When
the Pilgrims (not the dour Puritan, these were real Elizabethan
Englishmen) gave thanks, first to God, and then to the Wampanoags for
their survival of the first year. Massasoit arrived with 90 of his
tribemates plus 5 dressed deer and a dozen wild turkeys. There were also
gun and arrow shooting contests in which both Wampanoag and Pilgrim
participated. Plus foot races and wrestling contests. It lasted three
days. And it paved the way for a treaty between the two which lasted for
forty years. The Pilgrims were people of their word, unlike some of
their descendants. So, if you see news items of protests against
Thanksgiving, just remember, as is usually the case of anything in the
MSM, it doesn't stand up to the facts of history. HAPPY THANKSGIVING
everybody.
Of course we
wouldn't want to leave you without something to watch other than
football. Here is the full Charlie Brown's Christmas
We will see you all on Monday.
The Home of the Platinum Vinyl Awards. Reviews of New CD releases, mostly CCM but also mainstream releases that may interest the Christian Music listener. Music News and Commentary, especially when there's a CCM connection.
