Martin Luther

Stephanie here..

I am enjoying a long chat about Martin Luther by Poppy. We were talking about the hymn, A Mighty Fortress is Our God. It is his favorite. We asked him why he likes it so much. In turn, we got a long rich history lesson. I learned of all Luther's faults and praises. He loves the words to that hymn but also loves that it used to be an old beer hall tune. Luther loved his beer.

I feel the war between wanting to say, "this is so hard," and "this is such a sweet and tender time." So, I have to choose. I have to choose every moment. I choose sweetness. It is only possible with God's matchless grace and presence. He has caught our hearts in numerous ways already today with divine appointments and prayer and worship.
