Thanksgiving

Hey. It's been over a month now and I haven't written anything in my blog lately. I guess I should first of all comment on my Thanksgiving holiday. My sister, Vivian, did all the cooking, but I was the one who transported all the food from her house to my house. We had a great big turkey, Vivian's homemade Sweet Potato Casserole, creamed corn, stuffing, jellied cranberry sauce, and dinner rolls. We also had sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie and cheesecake. Of course, Mom and I wanted to bake some cookies and they turned out okay. Vivian got mad when I made a cake instead of cupcakes. I could have sworn she wanted me to bake a cake since she brought over a cake pan with the cake mix. But she also brought cupcake holders. And I just couldn't fathom why she brought those two together...until of course she yelled at me and said that she wanted me to bake cupcakes in the cake pan since we didn't have a cupcake pan. How bad can my mental illness get?! It totally screws up my ability take instructions. No wonder why they got me on disability. Well anyways, they ended up letting me say the prayer before eating. I was really hoping that they'd let me pray, and they did. I prayed to the Father in Jesus' Name and thanked Him for dying on the cross for us and rising from the dead to take away our sins. And of course I thanked Him for the food too. So my family had a great time as usual. Johnathan brought his girlfriend. Jessica and Santina and little Anthony was there too. Along with Everitt, Vivian's husband. My brother, Michael, and his wife went to Chicago, Illinois for Thanksgiving. Carmine was in Arizona, where he lives. Carmine's birthday was on Thanksgiving Day this year, and when we called to wish him a wonderful holiday, he gently reminded us that he wanted an X-Box360, which costs about $400. I told Mom and Mike that I would gladly chip in and pay half the price. But Mom sort of has her feelings hurt because Carmine and his wife never gives anything to her for Christmas or her birthday. So Mom definitely has mixed feelings about getting Carmine something that expensive. Both Mike and I are trying to persuade her to get it for him though. As for my friends, I'm pretty sure I lost one. Missy, of course, is mad at me concerning my blog article entitled "Sin." She was basically mad at me because I said that I didn't know if I could be friends with someone who doesn't judge right from wrong and good from evil and righteousness from wickedness and sound doctrine from wrong doctrine. I'm not sure if she read it the whole way through though. In summary, she just doesn't talk to me nor send me e-mails anymore. Oh well...she doesn't like how I judge people based on what the Bible says, then she shouldn't like how she judges rich people. She has actually commented several times that rich people are the problem to all the troubles. Now how can she not like me for judging when she judges too? I understand that everyone is a sinner, but there are those who really do try to not sin and who really care not to associate with the wrong crowd who do sin. And there are those who preach against sin. Actually, it's the Holy Ghost who convicts us of sin. Well, I know I'm not perfect either. Maybe I was a little harsh on Missy for her comments that night, but she isn't that perfect either if she doesn't forgive me.
