Sitting in my favorite chair on a Saturday morning fall day with a cup of coffee to warm me up is great way to start the day. Worship music has been playing, bible reading has been enjoyed, and now I am writing this post.

Quick question- If a medicine says drink plenty of fluids, does that mean drink more coffee?

Thanksgiving week is upon us. It has come so quickly. I am thankful I can spend Thanksgiving with my friend Pastor Alekseyi and his family. His wife Ruslana can actually cook turkey so it’s moist not dry. It is easy to cause me to be in awe of cooking skills since I have none.

Yesterday it was a blessing to meet my new friend Nicolai for coffee. He is from Ukraine and has been in ministry for Fellowship of Christian Atheletes for quite a while. He is living in my city now and travels to various parts of Russia for a month or so a few times a year reaching out to athletes there.

Looking forward to tomorrow, English conversation group at my church, then worship at my church, then lunch with my friend Luis from El Salvador, and then worship service at New Breath. My Sundays are busy but so worthwhile.

Another question- If you live in the USA, what are your Thanksgiving plans?

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
