In chapel today we sang one of my favorite hymns “Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott” aka “A Mighty Fortress is our God.” Here I was in Germany thinking that almost 500 years ago the German saints were singing this song in this little town – it was an AWESOME experience!

I took a walk this evening and the temperature was in the mid 50’s which is amazing considering that Stuttgart is about 49 degrees North latitude. My home town of Columbia South Carolina is about 34 degrees North latitude and it’s going down to 14 degrees tonight! It looks like the warm weather followed me to Stuttgart! Auf Wiedersehen!
