As a new-ish member in LCMS church ( in the mid-south district ), I very much a encouraged by your posts in the midst of a discouraging time in our church.<br /><br />I will freely admit I was 'born an old man' and actually, I'm thankful for it.evchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746752973017622404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-58818852500619380442013-11-07T08:08:39.819-06:002013-11-07T08:08:39.819-06:00I'm with you all the way.

I find most of the "new improvements" in new technology to be more "new" than "improvements." The changes are only for the purpose of selling something new. That which has already been sold has no remaining value to the creator, so something "new" must be put in its place for a further profit to the seller.<br /><br />We live in an age that has forgotten entirely the value of things that have enduring value, that have stood the test of time. It is sad, but it is a comment on our fallen state.<br /><br />I too have been accused of being born old, but now that I am truly old, I don't mind at all. I would not go back to youth for all the tea in China.<br /><br />Fr.
