Happy Birthday, Jonathan Edwards

October 5, 2016 1 Comment

Today is Jonathan Edwards’s birthday. He turns 313.

At age 19, Edwards drafted a list of 70 “Resolutions” by which he hoped to live the rest of his days. They were written over a period of several months, beginning in late 1722. His plan was to review the list each week and evaluate his progress. Resolution number six is a great one for birthday anniversaries.

    A man who is remembered more than three hundred years after his birth is no doubt a great man.
