I know, I know, I’m late with this month’s post.  But, hello… November IS hunting season!  I’ve been on the road a lot this month.  Back and forth to Fredericksburg a couple of times, one weekend on retreat and, oh yeah, I’m working too.

All that said, this morning finds me in Fredericksburg waiting for Noon for dinner and then off to the lease for the rest of the weekend.  Sitting here I’m reminded how hectic our lives can become.  Some of it is neccessary, much of it is self inflicted.

So for just a moment, whenever you have the opportunity to read this I hope each of you pause and reflect on what’s hectic in your life.  If you can eliminate something, I hope you will.  It’s really kind of uplifting to consider and discard some burdens.  For me, the most reassuring moment is when I realize they weren’t as important after all, as I thought they were.  What’s important is today and what you choose to make of it.

What’s not important is all this garbage about stores opening at midnight or 4:00 AM for Black Friday.   But I’ll save those comments for later. 

May God Bless and protect the men and women who protect us by their service in the military and may God continue to Bless each one of us.

Happy Thanksgiving.
