1) Martin Luther. The great reformer was an avid bowler who had his own bowling lane. Many bowling historians credit him with standardizing the rules of bowling and fixing the number of pins at nine. A life-size diorama at the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame in St. Louis portrays Martin Luther bowling on the single lane at the side of his home. A brochure from the museum states that Luther, an avid bowler, once preached a sermon that proclaimd Christians ’strive for perfection in life. But when we roll a gutterball, all is not lost.’”

 

2) Matthew and Luke contain the birth narratives of Jesus.
