Today we celebrate Thanksgiving.  It is an American holiday where we give thanks to God for guiding our earliest colonists to the New World.  The journey took months, through stormy waters, and many ships foundered over the years.  But we kept coming, looking for a New World where we could be free from the oppression of the One True Religion of the States we left behind.  And so we thank God for bringing us here were we could build that New World.
