Martin Luther once said: “The world is like a drunken peasant. If you lift him into the saddle on one side, he will fall off on the other side.” These are the chronicles, thoughts, and questions of a Lutheran pastor just struggling to stay on his theological horse, and not fall off one side or the other.

Good Quote
When we are children, we often receive without gratitude.
When we are adults, we often receive without grace.
That struck me. I know it's true for me. Both gratitude and grace need to be taught.

A New Year . . . and New Gorillas!
I can't believe it's been four months since my last post. Wow. Lack of time, lack of motivation, same old reasons. I do have a bunch of stuff to post, though. Maybe I'll get to it! For now, though, maybe something fun to get me back in the swing . . .
Some of you know that I have a rather large collection of gorillas. I have over 100 stuffed, plastic, wooden, etc. gorillas throughout the house. Mostly all different - only 1 or 2 are duplicates. I got two lego gorillas for Christmas to add to the collection. These are not officially designed lego models, but something an individual designed and sold. My wife and daughter found them online and they arrived a couple days after Christmas. Here they are . . .
