We are counting down the days until Football Season. I think we are like most people right now, excited for a good distraction.
Football Season is our favorite for many reasons but especially for the Food & Fellowship with others. I am not sure how much Fellowshipping we will be able to do right now with this pandemic, but I do know that we will still have our favorite foods.
