95 on 1

95
Jeff is a friend from church who is currently teaching our Sunday morning class on the Protestant Reformation. He is also the guy schooling me in the game of chess. Since we’re talking about it, I beat him in our last three games. *ahem* Anyway, he had mentioned passing out copies of the Luther’s 95 theses to the class this weekend and I said how that would require a few sheets of paper for each copy. No way you could fit them all onto one sheet. He proved me wrong tonight at one of our Home Groups by giving me this. All 95 on 1 sheet. Thanks brother.

    That…is…AWESOME! Tell Jeff I want one.

    Steve – say when and where, and you shall have it. (A fine exercise in “qualitative use” of the company plotter.

    Joe – You are, as always, welcome…however I was under the assumption that the “three in a row whooping” was to be our lil’ secret. *ahem*

    “No Quarter” next time, young man!

    What was I thinking? “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled.” Here comes another 6 month losing streak.

    That’s a cool deal! Worth framing and hanging on ye’ ole wall.

    Any chance you could take orders for this thing – I would love to get one for my church – that is awesome.

    Um, Jeff, you need to leave Joe’s church, come to my church, and make me one of those. The weather’s better out here in Cali.

    Have I mentioned that I’m envious of your study? All those book-lined walls…wow.

  • Aaron Kirchhefer

    If you’re taking orders, send me one. I am just glad that paper is not standard sized.

    Nice pic of JP Boyce. Is there a chance there is any other picture of him?

    Scott, Jeff gave this to me with a fram, so it will be up on a wall this weekend.

    Dave – great idea. Jeff should open an online store reprinting creeds, and whatnot in large format for hanging. Jeff?

    Justin, I hate you for trying to lead a member of Grace astray.

    Ariel, thanks. Here’s another pic.

    Aaron, no other Boyce photos. But I do have busts of Spurgeon and Calvin, a huge order of salvation/damnation chart by Bunyan, a leaf from a Geneva Bible (1599) – the first page of Jeremiah, and some other church history related art.

    Man, your office is neat. Makes me sick, because my books are piled every which way in a mess.

    Very nice.

    However, when I blew the picture up to regular size I realized that the 95 were not in the ecclesiastical tongue, nor the language of the Fatherland.

    Surely, you have them memorized in Latin, right? Don’t ruin my estimation of you, Chess Master.

    Sweet gift, though I’m surprised you were allowed to open it early.
