"'All the creatures of God are good, if they be received with thanksgiving,' this text shows that what God has made is good. Now eating, drinking, marrying, etc. , are of God's making, therefore they are good. Yet the glosses of the primitive fathers are against this text: for Bernard, Basil, Jerome, and others, have written to far other purpose. But I prefer the text to them all, though in popedom, the glosses were deemed of higher value than the bright and clear text. " -Martin Luther, Table Talk.

I had to find a dictionary to learn what "glosses" are, but once I knew, I fell in love with this quote. It sings! Thank you for sharing it.
Love the artwork. Where is that from?
Oh no I lost my glosses. Can you help me find them? be careful not to step on them!
As for the artwork I just grabbed it off the internet. I have no idea where it is from.
"...the bright and clear text." Hmmmm. Love that phrase.
One reason I can't wait for you guys to come back is so we can have some theological conversations of the ignorant kind. I'm sure there's a lot of questions you could help me answer. First and foremost, I would like to know how you have managed to not give up on organized religion...
