Every year our church puts on a huge Turkey Dinner. This is a big fundraiser for the church and everyone in the church gets involved.
The kids in the youth group will be busing tables all night. Some people will be in the kitchen, others serving food and others cleaning up. Along with the food with be handmade items from the ladies of the church for sale and other trinkets.
Since the first year that we have attended St. Paul UMC and been part of the Turkey Dinner, it has felt like the warmest and most comforting place to be. Each year, no matter how bad I feel, I look forward to this day. Tonight I know I will eat good food, cooked by loving hands of the women of the church, and sit among those that care the most about me and share the meal and the fellowship and the time together.
I am blessed that our church has this tradition. Last year my son was in the Youth Group and bused tables, and although he complained on the way there, I know he had a good time and enjoyed some of the older people of the church that you don't see as often. This year he will again bus tables, but my daughter will join him. She has a servants heart and I know she will enjoy this and talk with all the older people she can during her time.
In the hustle of our lives these days we forget to take the time to serve others and to remember to honor those who came before, our elders. I am blessed to have a church that takes the time to remember those things and helps me to teach those lessons to my children.
Off to eat turkey and clean the kitchen!

My first real post on the rambling blog of my thoughts and emotions and all that jazz blog!!
One of the authors, and bloggers that I love to follow, +D.S. McKnight was nominated for the Liebster Award by +Tanya Searle. And as Tanya explains it: Of course I’d never heard of it, being the armature blogger that I am; but as far as I can tell it’s a fun, chain letter kind of award where I answer the questions she’s posed to me and in turn pose ten of my own to other bloggers.
So +D.S. McKnight nominated me to answer some questions for her, and you all out there, and I felt privileged to be asked and obligated to answer.
1. When it comes to movies - old black and white or color?
Mostly color, but there are a few great old black and whites that I love dearly!
2. Your favorite author?
IS this a trick question? How can I answer that? I have so many favorites in so many different genres.....Juliet Blackwell in cozy mysteries, Sherrilyn Kenyon in paranormal/fantasy3. Coffee or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Chocolate all the way!!4. If you could visit any time - past or future - when would you choose?
I have always had a fascination with England in the 1800's
5. Summer or winter?
Neither....Fall!! Football weather, falling leaves, bon fires that is what I live for!6. Favorite genre.
I will ready anything once~! I went through a cozy mystery phase, right now going through a paranormal phase, but I like to mix it up and read everything
7. If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would you choose?
The one person I would probably most want to talk with over dinner would be Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I would just love to listen to him in person and learn what he was like for real.
8. A genie offers you 3 wishes. What do you wish for?
Peace, Health and Happiness for my family and friends. Does that count?
9. Eat in or carry out?
Carry out...I'd rather be at home in my jammies!
10. Favorite fairy tale?
Not a fairy tale, but love to read Dr. Seuss books because of the hidden meanings in them and force my kids to find them and talk about them!

Welcome
Welcome!
So I can't live with only one blog. I have to have blogs for different things in my life, because I can't mix things it doesn't work for me!
So I have my old blogs under an old email address that I no longer use, and I am transferring them over to this new email address, but as I am doing that I am sorting out the blogs and cleaning them up.
I has always bothered me to have a mix of posts on one blog, especially my book blog, I hate having general interest posts on there because it is my book blog, it is about books! So I am doing that now.
BLOGS:
TAMMommy Blogs on Books - it's book reviews and author info
TAMMommy Blogs to Blog - my rambling on about whatever
So far those are the only ones that I have move over, but I will be moving the business blog over and more and will add them as I add them.
Thank you!
