Thanksgiving Takes – Gratitude in Troubled Times

by | Nov 20, 2018 | Social Media

Back when the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in the New World, the settlers were celebrating actually being alive. They probably wouldn’t have been, if the Native Americans that were already here did not teach them how to live off the land. In the developed world,...

Scratch the Panthers off the contenders list. Detroit is a bad team. The Panthers, coming off a long week of rest, made them look like world-beaters. The defense, the alleged strength of the team, is terrible. There is still no defense for the middle of the field, the...
