Right now, it looks (to me) like "Mercy, Witness, Life Together" instead.<br /><br />Also, can someone please clarify what appears on either side of the chalice in the "Life Together" portion of the graphic?<br /><br />Finally, add my vote in favor of static cling window decals; maybe combined with the LCMS logo somehow and/or the words "Martyria, Diakonia, Koinonia" in red, blue, and green Greek letters, respectively.aletheistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-91160446538326696882010-09-13T09:23:51.580-05:002010-09-13T09:23:51.580-05:00I like the window decal idea - make it a static cl...I like the window decal idea - make it a static cling...Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503743050696171950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-41503857750718843452010-09-13T08:25:39.434-05:002010-09-13T08:25:39.434-05:00Larry, not sure if I have told you this lately, bu...Larry, not sure if I have told you this lately, but you have a very attractive blog site. I see a lot of "blogger" sites and by far, in my opinion, yours has the "cleanest" and "neatest" look.<br /><br />OK, to your post.<br /><br />I spoke to Dr. Collver and we discussed briefly the "nomenclature" issue.

I've seen a lot of those "Coexist" blue bumper stickers around that seem to be saying acceptance of all things in the world is the way to go. Why not have this as a teaching point on our vehicles and when people ask, we can tell them it is our non-verbal way of saying we are Lutherans! I love it!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
