Reformation Weekend

I mentioned Reformation. What is that? It was when Martin Luther posted the 95 Thesis on the door at Wittenburg, that started the Reformation movement. There are things that I totally disagree with today's Catholics.

What is a purgatory? Why do they pray to the saints? Why do they pray to Mary? Or have a rosary? Those things I disagree with the Catholics. I don't celebrate Halloween, I celebrate Reformation.

I am getting a Book of Concord soon. It is the basis of my Lutheran faith. If you have met me, and I know some of my friends have, they can tell that I am very conservative in my beliefs and very confessional. I have a co-worker who told me that he can tell that I am a Christian by the way I act. I asked him, how so? He can tell that I am reserve. I don't tell like Steve who is a Presbyterian, I show my Christianity in my workplace. I told Steve that I have been a Christian all of my life. He has been a Christian for four years and have not been baptized. I was shocked to learn that he is not baptized.

As Christ commanded us to "Baptize all nations." Or what is that verse? "Believe in Me and you shall be baptized." I think that is how it goes. BTW, I was baptize as an infant, about four weeks old. I believe in infant baptism very strongly. Christ has mention to let the little children to come to Him. Even babies are included.

As for the rest of the weekend, I had a very relaxing weekend. I read, play on the computer, shop, watch the first parade in my hometown in years.

This week, hmmmm, besides work, I have to bake brownies for the Chili cookoff.
