Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and family. I sure wish I could be down there celebrating with you! Alas, it’s just a normal day here in Canada and I’ve got work to do. Be sure to check in tomorrow to take a look at all the Black Friday deals I’ve tracked down.

A Lifestyle, Not a Holiday – “If it is true that all men exist—were made to glorify God—our gratitude failure is not simply a failure of manners, akin to forgetting to write a thank-you card for a gift. Instead it is like adultery, like murder, like cosmic rebellion.” While you’re on Ligonier’s site, you can get these free Thanksgiving messages from R.C. Sproul.

Recovering Scripture – Michael Horton says that recovering Scripture is the church’s only hope.

Why I Believe the Jury Got It Wrong – Thabiti Anyabwile explains why he thinks the jury got it wrong in Ferguson. This article takes a very different perspective from Voddie Baucham’s did yesterday. You may also want to read Dan Phillips’ excellent Seven Revelations of Ferguson.

The Most Satisfying Occupations – Well look what made #1 on the list…

A Thanksgiving Assessment – Paul Tripp has a Thanksgiving assessment for you.

Why You Paid More – “You paid $400 for your flight. The person next to you paid $250. Here’s why that makes sense—and benefits everybody.”

Jesus Christ is in every way sufficient to the vast desires of the soul.
