Calendar Adjustment Day is observed every 2nd day of September. It has been observed annually since 1752.
some Catholic countries such as Spain, Portugal, Poland, and Italy adopted the Gregorian calendar (named for Pope Gregory XIII) in 1582, some Protestant countries such as England continued using the Julian calendar. The Julian calendar was rather inaccurate, not properly calculating the time it takes the Earth to orbit once around the Sun. It had a leap year every four years, which is too often, which caused the calendar to be out of sync with the equinoxes and solstices. The biggest change of the Gregorian calendar was a new, more accurate formula for calculating leap years.
In 1851, Great Britain passed the British Calendar Act, which stipulated the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. It also began the new year on January 1 instead of March 25. In 1852, eleven days needed to be dropped in Britain in order for the calendar to sync properly with the other countries in Europe using the calendar. In Britain and the American Colonies, September 2 was followed by September 14. Thus, September 2 is today referred to as Calendar Adjustment Day.
The best adjustment anyone can make in this life is in the area of repentance.
We need to adjust our lives from sinfulness to righteousness - from wickedness to benevolence.
We need to adjust our titles from nobody to somebody
We need to adjust our academics from failure to success
Our marital lives must be adjusted from barrenness to fruitfulness
We also need to adjust our final destiny from eternal damnation to eternal salvation
With these and other essential adjustments your life will never be the same and it shall be well with you in Jesus name - Amen!
