In Honor Reformation Day……
October 31, 1517 is the day that Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk, nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. In an era when the Gospel had been eclipsed by a system of human merit, Luther and the other reformers were able to remind the people of God that we are declared righteous in the sight of the Lord through faith alone in the person and work of Christ Jesus.
Ligonier Ministries is celebrating Reformation Day with a one-day special! On Wednesday, October 31st, buy a hardcover Reformation Study Bible (ESV) for only $15.17.
Here’s a video with more information on the Reformation Study Bible.

Memoria Press
Today’s link is for Memoria Press. Memoria Press is a family-run publishing company that produces simple and easy to use classical Christian education materials for your homeschool. Memoria Press describes Classical Christian education this way….
Classical Christian education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue through meditation on the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.
Other than just providing great materials, they offer a free catalog containing great articles along side their curriculum, articles on their website, forum boards for support, and an email newsletter.
We have used some of their products in our homeschool (primarily Latin) and have been well pleased.

Lance Cpl. Nicholas Anderson lost his life after the Humvee he was riding in rolled over as a group of Marines pursued a suspicious vehicle near Jalalabad, Afghanistan. He suffered head injuries in the crash and died as he was being transported to a hospital.
Nicholas Anderson joined the Marines in January 2005 and began a six-month tour of Afghanistan two months ago with the 3rd Marines Weapons Platoon, his father, James Anderson said.
“I just know that he died fighting for what he believed in,” he said. “He wanted to be a Marine and even though it was a major risk he just wanted to go.”
James Anderson said his son, a 2003 Sauk Prairie High School graduate, enjoyed riding his motorcycle, lifting weights, going fishing and hanging out with friends.
He joined the Wisconsin Army National Guard when he was 18, but an injured shoulder forced him to drop out. He then enlisted in the Marines.
“I was very nervous when he first joined the Marines because two words jumped into my head: Afghanistan and Iraq,” his father said. “I just supported him and prayed that it would end before he had to go over.”
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
