Among the many things for which I am thankful to God this Thanksgiving is this community. We may be a diverse and esoteric collection of souls, but we have continued to find common ground in devotion to the Good, the Beautiful, and the True, particularly as personified in the divinity of Jesus Christ.
And all of us can also be thankful to be privileged to find ourselves living in such interesting and challenging times, where we have been given the opportunity to stand up and declare a side in the long-running war between the servants of God and the servants of Satan. As much as we might long for the peaceful salad days of yore, it is the conflict that tests and tempers us that makes us become more than we were before.
