Happy Thanksgiving!

For Denise; for our "children" (two parrots and two lizards); for our friends and loved ones; for our brothers and sisters at church and in the Lutheran and socially conservative blogospheres; for you, my readers; for "clothing and shoes, food and drink, house and home... and all I own, and all I need to keep my body and life-" but most of all, for my life and only righteousness, Jesus Christ, and for my baptism, I give thanks this day.
