How Can This Be?

I read online about incense from the Prinknash Abbey in Gloucester (read that England). Anyway, I ordered some to try it out and behold it got here from Great Britain... in four days regular mail... YES, 4 DAYS!!! REGULAR MAIL!! What??? I cannot even get a letter to St. Louis (four hours away) in 4 days...

"Suprise, suprise, suprise...." said Gomer.... (and no, I did not misspell it)...

The only way this post could have been better would have been a Goober 'Shazamm!' preceding the Gomer 'Surprise.....'

"It occurs to me that we will spend $20 million on the next Synodical Convention and who much of the time and words will be the meaningful words of a solid theological debate and how much the exchange of meaningless words?"

I have my mouth open and no words come forth - I will type but these questions to ask is this 20 million dollar amount true?

In your experience what percent of the theological debate of the Synodical Convention is meaningless words?; March 25, 2010 at 9:00 AM

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...
