While Martin and Katie Luther were turning Wittenberg into a launching-point for the reformation in Germany, King Henry VIII was launching a very different reformation in England. To learn more about Henry VIII, William Tyndale, and the English Reformation, watch this video; then, listen to this fascinating lecture from my colleague Michael A.G. Haykin: “The Cost of Living Dangerously.”

According to my unofficial family tree, my 13th great grandfather was Lord Chancellor to Bloody Mary. The historical record says that he placed the crown on her head at her coronation ceremony. It’s neat to know that someone from my family was in the royal court, but somehow, I had hoped my family would have been on Lady Jane Grey’s side of things. :/

Basically. As the old proverb says, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”
I’m definitely praising God for His grace in my life!!
