A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Today, November 6, is the heavenly birthday of the German Lutheran composer, Heinrich Schuetz (1585-1672). He lived in the seventeenth century and was one of the most famous Lutheran composers prior to J. S. Bach. He wrote over 500 compositions, although few have been included in American hymnbooks. One hymn was in The Lutheran Hymnal, #548, "My Inmost Heart Now Raises, A Song of Thanks, O Lord." It's a wonderful text based upon Psalm 138 and is appropriate for this Thanksgiving season.
