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.

Luther and . . .
I'm always amazed at how often Luther sounds like he lives in the 21st century. How about this quote . . .
When the precious gospel is expounded, the world plays its little game, becoming worse than it was before, as every gets busier and busier.
Busier and busier . . . sounds like today, doesn't it?
And now a question for you: What do gorillas call a candle?

Sick, Travel, and Fly Eagles Fly!
Well, I didn't post for a couple of weeks because I was sick (something going around they everyone is getting!), then I had to catch up from some days off, and then also work ahead a bit as I spent last week In Detroit visiting and helping my in-laws. So a busy couple of weeks!
So how nice it was to just sit and watch the Super Bowl last night, and especially as my Eagles completely dominated the Chiefs! Wow. It wasn't even close. Fly Eagles Fly! (And I loved rubbing that in to one of my catechumens who absolutely hates the Eagles!)
A couple of pictures . . .
