I was tied up during the parade and when I got to finally look at the Lutheran Hour float... well, it was not what I had expected from years of being awed by the work and the witness... you be the judge. Maybe I should left this stone unturned...
The promoters of the church growth movement within the LCMS are still entrenched at The Lutheran Hour. It is therefore not surprising that the parade float was yet another tacky technique for tricking unbelievers into loving Jesus.
Really? Really! Really.

Also, is that Wayne Newton in the yellow jacket?
The man in the jacket is Elvis, of course... who else would welcome folks to the pearly gates!
