It is finally here...the day of Halloween. Guess what? It's raining again! That is actually a good thing since the rain is coming down early this morning, and by the afternoon and evening things will be drying out nicely for all of those little pagans who will be hitting the streets to beg for food. It is going to be a cool day, but what would you expect from the last day of October?
More important than Halloween is the fact that today we celebrate the Lutheran Reformation, which purportedly began this day in 1517 when Martin Luther tacked his 95 theses of debate to the door of the Schlosskirche (Castle Church) in Wittenberg, Germany. He also included these theses in a letter to Albrecht, the Archbishop of Mainz and Magdeburg. The letter was forwarded to Pope Leo in Rome and...there you have it...GAME ON! The bottom line is that we will have our regular church service, commemorating the Reformation, this morning, and a special service for all of the area Lutheran folk, and those with nothing better to do, this afternoon beginning at 3:00. Hey, if you are in the area why not stop in? Following the afternoon service it will be time to head home to prepare to terrorize all of the little tykes that come to our door with designs on taking food from my table...or our of the huge metal bowl with all of the candy in it.
