When Niki and Chris Nicsinger decided to move their family of four to Texas over a year ago, running a coffee shop was not on the agenda. Formerly of Los Angeles, they were motivated by the idea of a simpler, less crowded and less restrictive way of life. Soon after finding their footing on a small farm in central Archer County, tragedy struck. It was from this tragedy that Jawbone Coffee Co. was born.

It seems to me that the worldly beginning of the Christmas holidays starts earlier and earlier each year, and we cannot celebrate a holiday without immediately moving on to the next.

There are many reasons why I love Thanksgiving. I love gathering with my family and getting to eat a huge turkey meal while watching the Dallas Cowboys. I love getting to play football with my family and have very fond memories of our family football games. Thanksgiving is a great time to express our thankfulness. We tell our families how thankful we are for them, we tell our friends, and hopefully we even tell our God. As a believer in Jesus Christ we have much to be thankful for and the root of all our thankfulness can be traced back to Jesus. The reason believers can express thankfulness on Thanksgiving or any day for that matter is because those who have trusted in Jesus as Lord have a salvation that is secure in him. This holiday season is a great opportunity for us to reflect on the great salvation that we have in Jesus.
