Interesting, isn&#8217;t it, that &#8220;men&#8217;s ministry&#8221; events seem to tip toward the athletic, outdoorsy, active, competitive side of the scale?  Whereas ministry programming for men focuses on themes like &#8220;iron sharpening iron,&#8221; warriors, band of brothers, etc., women&#8217;s programming focuses on teas, brunches, &#8220;Proverbs 31&#8243; studies, and&#8230; well&#8230; apparently whatever doesn&#8217;t involve competition, strain, sweat [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hevencense.wordpress.com&blog=1640086&post=4251&subd=hevencense&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Washington, D.C.
October 3, 1863
Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s presidential proclamation  set the precedent for America&#8217;s national day of Thanksgiving. This proclamation was issued when the country was locked in the deadly grip of Civil War&#8230;  
In case we&#8217;ve forgotten&#8230; (Some paragraph breaks added for easier reading.  Emphasis added.)
