Reformation Day

This is a repost from this blog---- Exactly one year ago today. Instead of trying to send the same message in a different way, I just decided to copy and paste. Sorry. I'm not lazy, I just don't think I should reinvent the wheel.



October 31st is a day that covers both ends of the spectrum for me. On one end of the spectrum is Halloween. Halloween is a day I completely despise for a multitude of reasons. I have felt this way since I was a young boy. My feelings toward Halloween have been compared to those that Ebenezer Scrooge had toward Christmas. I happily accept that comparison. I'm guilty as charged. On the other end of the spectrum is reformation day. On October 31st, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Martin Luther is the father of the reformation movement and the reformed church. God bless Martin Luther!
