Happy Turkey Day. We had fried chicken today - we'll celebrate with other missionaries on Saturday - it was just Thursday here - no football - just soccer - there's no comparison.
I would have like to have been there at Blackwolf's place. We had a good Thanksgiving, the little bear cubs were here, the oldest bear cub can pack the food away.
Hey y'all, wish we all could have been together for Thanksgiving, I would have loved to have broken bread with my wonderful family, and the adopted one. We would have had Oreo cookies and milk for desert for the unfortunate one. My homemade rolls turned out great, as usual,. The smoked turkey, well what can I say about that, turned out great. But hey, everything turned out great. Thanks to my wonderful wife, for all that she did to put everything together. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all and to all a good night.
Well, it certainly is not a curse (what did God do to allow this)as it seems you are inferring and I guess that's why you are not God.
Psalm 127:4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.
Psalm 127:5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
The psalmist applies the principles developed in the first two verses to the family. The blessings of the Lord on the godly family are many. First, he gives children as an inheritance. The perpetuity of the believing family is hereby assured, both in number and in membership within the covenant family of faith. The concern of the Israelite was not only that he would have children but particularly that he would have sons, and more particularly that they would be godly sons. The psalmist assures the godly that their inheritance is from the Lord, who will give them godly sons (v. 3).
Second, God gives a sense of security and protection in the godly family. Blessed (v. 5; see 1:1) is such a man. The psalmist uses a metaphor of war as he likens the children of one's youth to "arrows" (v. 4). As the arrows protect the warrior, so the godly man need not be afraid, when blessed with sons. Continuing the metaphor of arrows, the psalmist speaks of the quiver. A house full of children, born before one becomes old (Gen 37:3), is a protection against loneliness and abandonment in society. They have received a godly example at home; and when they come together in the city gate, the place where court was held (69:12; Deut 17:5; 21:19; 22:15, 24; Amos 5:12), they will speak on behalf of their aging father in the presence of their enemies (v. 5).
I was not really looking for a answer, my statement was only rhetoric, goofing around.
I really do not have an NFL team, and I really do not care about the Bucs. I am still mad about how they build the football stadium here, it was just wrong.

If there is nothing more to say, is it necessary to say there is nothing more to say?

I'm sure you're thankful for something!

I hope you didn't mean that I am the unfortunate one. God has allowed me to do more than I ever imagined and thought possible.
Would have like to been there also - watched the Cowboys win - against Tampa Bay - Inca, is that your team?
BW - hope you didn't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back!
I would have never imagined that you would have 5 kids. So what did God do to allow this?

Just a couple of thoughts!!!
