Thanksgiving football: Saints, Pats and Jets all win
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints blew a 17-point lead, then went back ahead with 1:55 left on a quick, long drive and held on for a 30-27 victory over Dallas when the Cowboys’ David Buehler narrowly missed a 59-yard field goal. New Orleans coach Sean Payton appeared to try calling timeout as the ball was snapped, which would’ve given Dallas another chance. But the officials didn’t give it to him, so the play stood. The Saints, playing on the holiday for the first time, won their fourth straight and fifth in six games to improve to 8-3. The Cowboys (3-8) lost for the first time in three games since Garrett became interim coach. Dallas trailed 17-0 after the first three times New Orleans had the ball. The Saints also were up 20-3 just before halftime. Then, Buehler made a career-best 53-yarder as the second quarter ended — and the rally was on. Dallas scored on four straight possessions to get close, then went ahead 27-23 on Tashard Choice’s 1-yard touchdown run with 5:51 left. The Cowboys were on their way to stretching the lead when Roy Williams broke free with a catch and raced toward the end zone, following a block by Miles Austin. Safety Malcolm Jenkins raced over and stripped the ball at the 11, and Brees took it from there. On the winning drive, he hit Robert Meachem for 55 yards and Lance Moore on a 12-yard touchdown strike.

Renew You and me forever is all a part of Gods plan
Were living in a time in our country when society is not marriage friendly, meaning that marriage is becoming less the accepted norm and usual relationship between a man and woman. Oh, no doubt, marriages do still take place but people of all ages seem to be comfortable with quick relationships which appear to cost little in time or commitment. Yet we all either know of someone, or have personally experienced the pain of misplaced trust and commitment, so that that they and we are cautious about entering any new relationship. Similarly, the adage about computers is also true for personal relationships, garbage in, garbage out, we get what we put into them!

So what if we went back to the drawing board in order to understand what a good marriage relationship looks like? Shouldnt it be based upon trust, honesty, and commitment? Shouldnt it be based upon shared values, a sense of common goals, and of being personally willing to work hard to achieve these goals doing so for the benefit of the other person? Shouldnt passion be part of the glue which holds the relationship together, but only after these other elements are in place?
