Happy Reformation Day
All day long the television programs have featured Halloween. TV chefs seem to think the only thing going on today is giving cutely-costumed kids candy, decorating our homes with cute-spooky decor, and making black-and-orange the theme color for all our food today.
And I've been selling Halloweencrap at The Department Store for weeks. I'm a little tired of cute black bats gamolling around cute black spooky houses decorated with purple glitter...all of which sells for $23.99 and has a little place for a votive candle. Ick. It's not cute.
I grew up with the anti-Halloween church party: the Reformation Celebration. When I was little it really was a celebration of the Protestant Reformation, but by the time I was in high school, it degenerated into a safe-Halloween-alternative party. Ick.
In any case, today is more than just cute black cats and cute bottle of fake-entrails cutely displayed on our bookshelves, cute bats flying around cute black spooky houses, cute witches and familiars.
Don't forget:
Sola scriptura
Sola fide
Sola gratia
Soli Deo gloria
Solo Christo
