I wish everyone a happy, hearty, healthy holiday with friends and family. Thanksgiving Day is a great tradition, one that I am glad our nation celebrates.
I’m writing this from my mom’s place in TN. I had a good drive down. It’s a 6-hour trip, but the roads were good and the weather was nice. On the way I listened to a couple audio presentations on CD. One was about the causes of the American Civil War (the significance of slavery, culture, political power, etc.), and the other was about how Christians in America in 1776 justified the war to split with Great Britain. Both were really interesting. I may write more about them later. (I had earlier finished another CD in the same series, about the relationship between Puritans and native Americans. I learned so much from that—history that you don’t hear in today’s anti-Christian, anti-European academic world.)
