Not long after that, the younger Son got together all he had, set off for a distant country....” The “distant Country”. The young man ...read more

    Sitcoms made the term "yada" mean something boring, but the Hebrew term is the basis for a life of Thanksgiving that "in everything gives thanks."

    It’s Thanksgiving! Yada! Yada! Yada! --I Thessalonians 5:16-18 In January and April of 1997 the hit sitcoms THE NANNY and SEINFELD coined a neologism, a new phrase that has come into popular use.
