I spent several years preparing a calendar of Reformed, Protestant historical events. It is an ongoing project, in fact, but I use it to keep track of such things for my own reference (I am a church history geek), and thought I would share some highlights for this year.

You forgot one.

It's nothing that ranks with these historical events, but thanks for the kind words, dear brother! Truly God is good, so good to have adopted a wretched sinner like me into his family.

Louez le Dieu des cieux, Car sa miséricorde dure à toujours!
