Happy thanksgiving, y’all!
I know I’ve been slack about posting lately, but things have been crazy busy leading up to Thanksgiving, trying to get things done in the lab and at home to take a few days off this week. And that was wonderfully successful, as I’ve been home since Tuesday night, which meant I got to spend a few hours with Dad at the OCC Processing Center that night before all the massive Thanksgiving prep yesterday. We fed about 75 people today for Thanksgiving dinner, all youth group kids down from PA or up from FL who are here giving up their Thanksgiving breaks to work at OCC processing shoeboxes this week. We had at our disposal 5 turkeys, 40 pounds of mashed potatoes (yes, we made them ALL!), 4 different kinds of stuffing, 2 green bean cassaroles, 4 corn puddings and various other assorted holiday foods. It was CRAZY! And let me tell you, even though those kids tucked in and ate a ton of food, we still have soooo much leftover. Yessssss. 
Anyway, just wanted to say happy Thanksgiving to all of you – hope your holiday was filled with lots of good food, family, friends and fun, as mine was. I’m looking forward to recovering a bit tomorrow, but we’ll still be at the processing center at least part of the day tomorrow and some again on Saturday. It’s amazing to see how God can bring people together to get His message spread throughout the world with these little shoeboxes going to needy children everywhere.
Happy Thanksgiving!
