The Blog is Back

After an extended absence for a variety of reasons, I'm planning on bringing Practical Theology back online. My last post was in April 2010, which was almost 8 months ago. I'm not quite sure what to write about next, but that always comes eventually. At any rate, I guess I can wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving with this story from Jack Handey:

"One Thanksgiving my parents did something I don’t know if I can ever forgive them for. We were eating our turkey dinner when suddenly I realized I hadn’t seen my pet turkey all day. “Where’s Mister Gobble?” I asked. Dad seemed confused. “Mister Gobble?” “Yes,” I said. “My turkey. The one I picked out at the supermarket, and then after he thawed out I made him do a funny little turkey dance. Mister Gobble.” Dad’s silence said it all. We were eating Mister Gobble! I ran crying from the table and locked myself in my room. Later, Dad knocked on the door and said he had some dessert for me. When I opened the door, I couldn’t believe it. It was a slice of Pumpkie, my pet pie!"
