Just An Observation

The health insurance debate has as its goal the coverage of all Americans... except those still in the womb. I am not going to turn this into a political blog, but it makes you wonder... Why is it that the only ones we will not cover or protect are those who have no voice to speak for themselves? When mentioning this to a friend, he responded that I was factually wrong. Those in the womb will be covered for those who want them, and for those who don't want them, they will be covered under the end of life coverage that may also eventually include quick exits for others considered expendable. Well, that is as political as I will get here... but somebody needs to be speaking for those who have gotten lost in the discussion...

While the thought that insurance companies would cover such expenses sickens me the truth is that the day is comming closer to when it will become a reality if no one says anything about it.; December 2, 2009 at 9:32 PM

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
