Happy Thanksgiving!
A Thanksgiving Day Prayer:
Father all-powerful, Your gifts of love are countless and Your goodness infinite. On Thanksgiving Day we come before you with gratitude for your kindness: open our hearts to concern for our fellow men and women, so that we may share your gifts in loving service.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen

Book Recommendation
Book recommended: Factfulness
Author: Hans Rosling
Recommended by: Chris Hadfield (students heard him at CSLC last week and go this book recommendation from him!)
In a perfect world, journalists would always present the news in a completely accurate way, and they’d give plenty of relevant context to make it even more impactful. But, unfortunately, we live in the real world, where journalists are in the business of attracting readers, and readers love things to be both super simple and full of drama. As a result, our worldview has become skewed — a poor representation of what the world is really like.
At the heart of our messed up worldview is the belief that people around the planet are worse off than they were before. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, there’s far less poverty than ever before, people everywhere are living longer and less of the world is being run by sexist and oppressive patriarchies.
Why it is recommended:
It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns, but Hadfield is optimistic about the state of our world. Several reasons for this he shared were that the quality of life has improved, literacy is up globally, family size is down, diseases are disappearing and communication is awesome in our information age!
