As for me and my house, we heartily celebrate Reformation Day.

From the article:
“What is Reformation Day? It is the day the light of the gospel broke forth out of darkness. It was the day that began the Protestant Reformation. It was a day that led to Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, and may other Reformers helping the church find its way back to God’s Word as the only authority for faith and life and leading the church back to the glorious doctrines of justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. It kindled the fires of missionary endeavors, it led to hymn writing and congregational singing, and it led to the centrality of the sermon and preaching for the people of God. It is the celebration of a theological, ecclesiastical, and cultural transformation.”
Soli Deo Gloria
Someone was telling me he lost two days of work last week because of a four-day French weekend. The two holidays were the anniversary of the end of World War One, and either All Saints’ Day or All Souls’ Day, he didn’t know which. I think the former (he didn’t know how to say it in English).
Kind of makes you think about the differences between countries.
Boo!
Forwarding a wish from all my friends who have “ditched and switched” for Trump ....
“Happy Samhain, Blessed Be!”
