    On Thanksgiving, just to who are we giving thanks to? Do we just give lip service to giving thanks?

    All this week, we will hear a lot about giving thanks. We need to give thanks for all we have. But you will hear little about giving thanks to who. To whom do we give thanks? Our parents? Our forefathers? Our government? Our lucky stars? The fact is everything we have and all that we are, we ...read more
