3 Reasons I’m Giving Up Blogging . . .
… on Thanksgiving Day!
The opening words on my blog Home Page; Real, authentic, soulful posts every Thursday from Girl Friday. But I won’t be posting next Thursday. It’s a holiday. So I’m giving up blogging—next week only on Thanksgiving Day.
Here’s a countdown of the 3 reasons why.
Reason #3
I love Turkey. It’s true. I do. Have you ever answered this question with friends, “If you could choose a last meal, what would it be?” Our Thanksgiving feast each year is one of my favorite meals. In fact, it’s first choice for my last meal. Second on the list is pasta. The peak of comfort food.
Envision this mouth-watering spread: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, broccoli casserole, mac & cheese, corn, sweet potato casserole, cranberry salad, and home-made yeast rolls. Don’t forget the pumpkin pie, my Grandmother Clarkston’s lemon pie, and banana pudding! Smack your lips together and dream—there’s no meal like this one.

A Culture of Me-isms
By Karen Friday
Have we forgotten the world doesn’t revolve around me? It revolves around the sun and as God’s children—the Son.
On every street corner you’ll find me. Vying for the world to see me. To be noticed.
Can I Have Your Attention?
I wrote an article about being a Christian and the power of admitting me too in struggles.
While me too is part of being real and relating to others, our culture’s obsession with me is another ballgame entirely.
Whether it’s videos that went viral with dancing kids, humor tickling our funny bone, or articles with soul-touching words, online stuff is catching our attention like never before. (On a side note, dare I mention a recent saga involving red cups. I hope it goes away soon.)

Dear Veteran. Dear God.

A Letter of Thanks
Dear Veteran,
Soon we’ll be celebrating something important in history. It’s significant. It’s you. Void of your presence, we the people, would be despairingly weak and open to continued attacks by our enemies.
You see, we need you. We believe in you. We are proud to deem you worthy of our respect.
To warriors who paid the ultimate sacrifice and those who remain. Those who are wounded in body and spirit. You epitomize bravery in our eyes.
Soldiers valiant in honor and duty. Serving in war and peace. Our fellow countrymen—our Veterans.
Hand on chest or in salutation, we raise our voice to echo your voice:
