Reformation

People everywhere are dressing up today!  Putting on masks, pretending to be something they are not.  We have been asked many many times over the years - "why don't you 'do halloween'"?  

Quite simply, it offends our Christianity!  Today is a day to celebrate the Reformation!  But no one knows what that even means.  Today is the day when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the door, but that is foreign to most!

We don't celebrate and to top it off when we get out of town to be away from those going door to door - we ended up being served at a restaurant by a lady dressed as a cat (at least I think she was a cat).  Craziness!  

We read the story of Martin Luther tonight!  We don't feel left out.  Our kids don't feel left out!  They think the dressing up, the decorating the craziness is all just crazy.  

We celebrate the beginning of our Protestant faith!  Those who understand...understand!
