COFFEE AND CLARITY

vote-day

Yesterday we all had an opportunity to get a free coffee from Starbucks and clear up some confusion on a few definitions if you voted.

Proposition 102 defined marriage in its simplest form.

Marriage between one man and one woman. Can it get any simpler than that? Prop 102 simply secures the definition of marriage through an Arizona constitutional amendment.

Prop 102 is 20 simple and clear words that define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Some people in our neighborhood where my church is located obviously did not agree with prop. 102. We had to replace the 5 x 7 sign at least 6 times from them tearing it down.

Yes, it was a hassle putting the sign back up …..but what do you expect from confused people.

Another interesting bit of info. is that the same kind of measure was passed even in California.

If you can change a definition of something you can change the direction and destiny until it loses its purpose.

So I say thanks to Starbucks for the coffee and thanks to Prop. 102 for the clarity.

ReForMation Day

ReForMation Day

Halloween, being the Eve of All Saints’ Day might have been an entirely appropriate day for Luther to post his 95 Theses against indulgences since the castle church would be open on All Saints’ Day specifically for people to view a large collection of relics. The viewing of these relics was said to promise a reduction in time in purgatory similar to that of the purchase of an indulgence. Dr. Luther may have been shrewd in his choice of that day to post his theses.

Amazing that most of Americans don’t know that today way a day in history that brought freedom from a hugh religious herecy.
