Nothing says Advent like Darth Maul...

Another idea that should never have seen the light of day... and people wonder why the Church is not taken seriously...

Anonymous said...: Hey, I have that calendar.

It all started innocently. First it was the Lutheran Brotherhood advent calendar. Then the Swiss chocolates advent calendar. Then the kids came and it was cheap toys in the Oriental trading catalog advent calendar, which even had a nativity on it! Then came the classic Lego advent calendar. Then last year, the Lego Star Wars calendar. So, of course I had to get the 2013 Lego Star Wars advent calendar. It's not my fault. I was seduced by the power of the dark side to make kids happy in advent.; December 2, 2012 at 3:03 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...
