In light of Rory Mcliroy’s stunning collapse and even more stunning comeback at The Masters, one might almost say of Biblical proportions, it’s fitting to remember one should say the Greek Tragedy that is Tiger Woods in light of yet another epic fall, or fail, on his part just weeks prior. So, I remind you of a post I wrote, over 10 years ago (Remember more than 10 years old emphasizing – less than 10 repeating.): Continue reading

Adult Confirmation Class 9
After looking around the internet and seeing what pastors, particularly my generation, were posting, I decided that my audio only catechism classes were better than some of them, even the video ones, that sounded liked the biology professor in Wonder Years. What started me thinking in this vein was a Confessional Lutheran college student who in a sea of meh Lutheranism remained firm and is now a parish pastor. He grew up in a remote area; he said that he learned Confessional Lutheranism from the internet. That was 7 or 8 years ago. I’ve been thinking about doing this ever since. Continue reading

Mama was wrong!
Well, she was right and wrong. As any of my parishioners could tell you, certainly anyone who had been through one of my Adult Confirmation classes, I would use my mother’s ability to ignore my whining as if I wasn’t speaking at all as an illustration. It truly was amazing to me. My mother could stand at the sink washing dishes and apparently not here a word I was whining about. I used this tactic of my mother’s to illustrate how God, because He is all knowing, here’s audibly every prayer ever prayed by anyone, but outside of Christ He hears them as my mother “heard” my whining. This did teach me not to whine, but there was still a more amazing thing she taught. Continue reading

Is RIP All?
Before reading further you must listen to this mp3. I referred to this 9-25-11 on St. Michael and All Angels and rightly pointed out the error of this song in saying “we shall stand guard though the angels sleep.” Angels don’t sleep, men do. But without further ado please listen.

A Message of Bloodshed
Frankly I’m glad I couldn’t find the photograph described here: “In September of 1970, Arafat’s guerrilla warfare corps hijacked four international aircraft and forced them to land in the Jordanian desert, at Dawson’s Field. Jordan’s King Hussein used his army against the terrorist group, expelling all members from the kingdom. In revenge, Yasser Arafat secretly ordered the Red Prince to oversee the assassination of Wasfi al-Tal, Jordan’s prime minister, during the Arab League summit in Egypt the following year.
