    By Buck Jacobs
    Paul’s exhortation to us, “To give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1Thes 5:18), must have been especially challenging for the Pilgrims when they gathered to celebrate God’s providence on that first American Thanksgiving day in the autumn of 1621.  Those of us who feel burdened this T...

    By Buck Jacobs
    Greetings in Christ, from the bloodied, but unbowed, frontlines of business!
