Eating a whole turkey by yourself? May we join? Hit play, grab a leg, dip in cranberry, and enjoy what some people call the greatest meeting of minds since Shane MacGowan got together with Nick Cave to record My Way!

This earth is not the place where your promise is to be found. Rejoice because the kingdom of God comes to you!
