It is Thanksgiving today. We enjoyed a day with the in-laws on Saturday, we enjoyed church services yesterday, and today we’ll enjoy just hanging out as a family (and eventually getting around to devouring some turkey).

The New Best Way to Find Airline Deals – Mint.com has a short video telling you some of the ways you can find the best deals on flights.

Detox @ Monergism – Sexual Detox is now available at Monergism Books. So no excuses not to be buying a copy!
