Re-formation Day

For those few of us in the world who are church history majors, the first thing that springs to mind upon realizing it's October 31st is not Halloween, but Reformation Day.

I was thinking about the word "reformation" today. To reform. re-form.

I love that prefix "re". Speaks of new opportunities, of second, and third, and fifth and seventeenth chances.

Re-birth. Re-newal. Re-form. Re-think. Re-do.

I love that Jesus offers "re" to us. I love that there is forgiveness, and an invitation to begin all over again.

Celebrating reformation day today!
