Thanksgiving

OK, maybe I'm a few days late, but it took a while for the tryptophan to wear off.

Anyway, I can't embed the video here, but I'm linking to a video I think is worth watching or at least listening to while you surf the web.

It comes from Topeka Bible Church in Kansas. The first section is about six or seven minutes of a woman sharing her testimony from church to teen pregnancy to bulimia to drug use and, finally, back to Jesus.

The second section is another five minutes or so featuring Kerry and Vicki Livgren. You might recall Kerry from a post I put on here a few months back as he talked about his search for God as a member of the rock band Kansas. Well, he and his wife have a new testimony. Just about three months ago, Kerry suffered a stroke that nearly killed him. But this video can't help but move you as you see he and his wife talk about their thankfulness to God. And if you've ever known a stroke victim, you realize that his ability to move and speak as clearly as he does is remarkable, even if as he says, he never plays music again.

The third section is the testimony of another fellow who has battled lifelong physical ailments, literally from the moment he was born.

And it concludes with about a nine-minute message from the Pastor on Thanksgiving.

Don't feel obligated to sit down and watch it all at once, but I really do recommend you check out at least the first couple of segments to remind us all to give thanks.
