My small group is having Thanksgiving dinner together this Sunday. The guys will be watching the football game in a private theater with a larger-than-life screen. My small group knows how to do it up right!

I looked out my office window on Monday and saw two Bethlehem Marketplace camels tied on the back of a pick up truck leaving FMC on their way to get a makeover. Thanks to everyone who is working so hard to make BMP come together. Pray for BMP. Invite your friends.

The commissioning service for our missionary partners to South Sudan is this Sunday at Pine Ridge Bible Church in Quincy, Michigan. Karl and Rachel Anderson leave the USA on December 1. Check out their website where you can stay up to date with their ministry and read their blog.

I look for every income tax break I can find. The best and biggest one I know of is giving to the FMC/Bethel College scholarship fund. The State of Indiana lets you deduct 50% of your gift directly from your Indiana income tax. A $400 gift lowers my Indiana tax by $200. Get the full details here. Your check must be made out to Bethel College and received in the FMC office no later thanDecember 22, 2013.

It will be one year ago next week that we fought the first round of keeping the strip club out of our town. I still pray for a mighty judgment against it every time I drive by the site. I know you join with me.

A new 30 minute film about Duck Dynasty before they became famous was released just this morning. This is very good. See it here.
