6 Reasons Why Today Will Be A Good Day

1. Thursday is like Friday for me, as I am off on Fridays. And tomorrow I plan to begin work on fitting a custom adjustable bridge on my upright bass and not thinking at all about church work. I also hope to get the new strings I bought months ago put on in the next [...]

Because I am an Idiot

Apparently, the long music meme was without a #10, as Art was kind to ridicule me about. But leave it to another Lutheran to come to the rescue. David offers this #10 question:
What was the last song you downloaded legally?
My answer:
Life Sucking Voodoo Women, The Flametrick Subs

COTA

I am absolutely fascinated by this church.
I know it is old news in some sense, and that many people have heard of COTA, but something about it is very attractive to me lately.

I Started Them Today

I started working on my mobility forms today. Not fun, but necessary. The two of us (Sr. Pastor and me) will be resigning sooner than most folks think. At some point in time, I need to post some thoughts on the notion of co-terminus call. I mean, I see both sides of the issue, really, [...]

But I Don’t Wanna be a Pirate

I hate awards shows anyway, but what I hate even more is that Joan Rivers and her hideous daughter get on tv the next day and smash people over their clothes. Are you kidding me with this?????

CD Purchases

I haven’t purchased CD’s in a while, but Mrs. LP and I were able to send our boy off to a camping trip, and headed out for an adult dinner. After some decent Irish food, we ended up at local mega-electronics-and-media-chain-box. I usually hate buying CD’s and movies there, preferring to travel the little bit [...]

Post 250: An Extended Music Meme

If you have the time or desire to answer all 29, then you are tagged.
1. Of all the bands/artists in your cd/record collection, which one do you own the most albums by?
This is a tough one. Probably REM, since they have made music for so long. But is you go by percentage of releases, [...]

Yeah, I Went There for a Semester.

I thought this was an interesting article about the college I attended for one semester that led me to quit believing in God for a while.

She Reminds Me of Me

I have done a little more thinking about my last post. I appreciate all the comments and all of you are right in a real sense. Clearly, she recognizes the need for the church, even more so than some “orthodox” folks who never darken the door except to Sunday morning.
What I have come to [...]

Class Last Night

I am currently teaching an adult education class where we are looking at the Augsburg Confession. Last night our topic centered on what the confessions say about God, and I pointed out that CA I and III basically just point people back to the creeds, and were intended to be conciliatory with Rome by demonstrating [...]
