This week we enter the hustle and bustle of “the holiday season”. It’s often a moment of time-honored traditions. Many of us hold fast to our family rituals that bring us warmth and comfort. Everything from eating canned cranberry sauce to reading the Nativity story around the fireplace on Christmas Eve. I’m reminded this week of two stories about giving and receiving that really made my heart beat out of my chest. I hope through them YOU will start a new family tradition this week. I can’t wait to hear all about it!
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. I’m truly thankful for each of you.

In the summer of 1995, George Shamblin left a successful career in pharmaceutical sales, and a year-end bonus large enough to pay for three years of tuition, to enroll at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. Though he experienced more than his share of challenges and setbacks over the next 25 years, it's a decision he's never regretted. Since 2012, Shamblin has served as a pastor with The Center for Executive Leadership, in Birmingham, Alabama where he teaches Bible Studies, disciples others at various stages of spiritual growth, and maintains an active role in leading overseas mission trips. Also an adjunct professor at Birmingham Theological Seminary, Shamblin published his first book, The Relay, in 2020. An avid outdoorsman, as well as a Master Gardener, George and his wife of 27 years, Jill, have four children Sydney, Bailey, Miller, and George Jr.
