Columnist provides guides for holiday shopping.
Helmet? Check. Shoulder pads? Check. Rib pads? Check. Athletic supporter? Check. No, I'm not playing football in the high school Super Bowls or as quarterback for the Colts against the Patriots. Yes, I'm getting ready for Christmas shopping. This column isn't really for those who are adept at shopping and navigating the perils of the mall. I'm extremely jealous of those people. I wish they would take me with them to do my holiday shopping. I'd even pay a fee. I went to a certain store the other day with a holiday wreath in its logo, and they have a bargain theme to their commercials.

Shopping centers opened their doors at the crack of dawn today to launch the holiday shopping season. With Black Friday dubbed the busiest shopping day of the year, we wonder who out there believes it is worth it to get up early and fight the crowds to get that great deal. What do you think?

What are you Thankful For? To honor Thanksgiving, and the many blessings to be thankful for, I'd like to personally say that I am beyond thankful, grateful, and blessed to work at NTCS and have the opportunity to watch God working in the next generations.

Columnists wants his turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
Growing up around here, there is no escaping the Pilgrims and the tale of the first Thanksgiving. My third grade class went to Plymouth to hear the tale of the Pilgrims and their first Thanksgiving. It was very cold on our bus trip, and I was very sick the whole day, but fortunately, my teacher wrapped me up in her fur coat and I was able to avoid frostbite. Basically, here's the historical drill: The Pilgrims settled in Plymouth, jumped on a rock in the harbor (see Plymouth Rock) and pitched their tents (see Plimouth Plantation) after arriving from England on their ship Mayflower, which is smaller than your average mini-van. In those early years, before Wal-Mart and fast food restaurants, they braved the conditions and the wilderness for …
