Happy Reformation Day, and perhaps you are too old to go trick or treating...

Happy Reformation Day. 489 years ago Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenburg Chapel. His attack on the practice of and selling of indulgences and later refusal to recant opened the door for the Reformation of the church. So, here's to you Dr. Luther: thank you for bringing back the doctrine of justification by faith.

On other news, the rest of the world celebrates this day as Halloween. As most know, the traditional means of celebration includes silly disguises and going "trick-or-treating." All of this is well and good in its own respects, but for goodness sakes; if you are a teenager, then you are too old to be knocking on someone's door looking for free candy! Leave the festivities to the kids.
