Awesome Friday: my main man Martin

As previously discussed, I've changed my "favorite things Friday" to "awesome Friday" because it's easier to find things that are awesome than to sort through and find a favorite.

Here's something I find awesome: when Martin Luther came before the church leaders and made his "Here I Stand" speech. His confidence and dedication to God's word are ... well, awesome. I know part of my fascination with this is because I'm Lutheran and I grew up with this story, but I particularly love the way it's portrayed here by Joseph Fiennes. The only criticism I have is that we all know Luther was a little bit wider than Fiennes, but what the heck. Creative license, right?

Here's the awesome moment. No offense to my Roman Catholic friends.

Yes, I would have to say that he was awesome. :o)

I have a fridge magnet that has a picture of Martin and says "Luther is my Homeboy". LOL
