• I think Thanksgiving is one my favorite eating holidays.  Although…Christmas is pretty close up there, especially because of the peppermint bark.

  
  What a scary looking animal.  I wouldn’t want to run into one of those in the park.  I’m already afraid of geese in the park.  I have this fear that one day when i’m walking through the park that a flock of geese will come attack me with their strong bills and gorge my eyes out and eat my flesh.  I also fear this with pigeons.  Morbid, i know…

  but…they taste so good…
  

  So…girls from Open Door and The Vine joined forces to play turkeybowl this year.

  It’s just a weird concept to me that girls who are normally so dainty and cute and feminine can turn into monstrous beasts that cause physical harm.  It’s just not my natural instinct to be aggressive and inflict harm on others, so i feel SOO bad when i do it.  I don’t mean to cause pain…but i think it’s because our guy coaches are always yelling at us to be aggressive and knock people down and throw them around.  I pretty much do whatever people tell me to do and when people are yelling at me, i listen even more. 

  For instance, Coach Noolee yelled “Take a knee!” before the last play of one of our games and I understood that as taking a knee for a huddle, so i took a knee in the middle of the field, but no one else on my team did.  I look around me and see a teammate laughing her head off and that’s when i realized that wasn’t what he meant.  dang it…

  All in all, I had a lot of fun and had such a great time fellowshipping with girls from not only my church but the girls from Open Door.  I always say every year that I’m getting old and should stop doing church sports, but i have such a great time playing in a team and cheering each other on.  Plus, we get more of a cheering section when we play turkeybowl.  We did a lot better than ANYONE had anticipated and everyone gave a really good effort.  man…i’ll probably just end up playing again next year, despite how much pain I’m in right now. 

  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
