Thanksgiving 1

This time of year can be difficult for me for reasons I’ll not share. Today I’m thankful for “frowning providences.” Because, you know, the clouds do always eventually “break in blessings.”

And while I’m at it, can I say that I’m thankful for William Cowper?

What are you thankful for?


Here are three ways you can join in the thanksgiving. 

  • Mention something you’re thankful for in the comments here and I’ll included it in one of my thanksgiving posts, or
  • Email me to tell me what you’re thankful for and I’ll include it in a post, or
  • Post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog, send me the link(s), and I’ll link to your post(s). If you plan to make your thanksgiving posts daily during the month, let me know that and you won’t need to send me daily links.

More details here.

Reformation Day

One of only very few early printings of Luther’s hymn: “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” There are no known first edition printings left. This book is a second edition, and extremely rare. It is in the holdings of the Lutherhaus museum in Wittenberg, Germany. Photograph by Paul T. McCain. June 2006. Wittenberg, Germany.

Today is Reformation Day and Kim is marking the day by taking a look at some of the factors that lead to the Reformation (The Upward Call).
