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.

Advent is Too Short
I love the Advent season. I love the midweek services (although attendance is usually not that great), and the break they give for prayer and meditation in the midst of a busy season. I love looking to the end through the manger and the cross. I love the hymns. I love the anticipation. I just wish it would last longer. Every year it seems like it has hardly come before it is gone . . .

Advent is usually short, but this year, with the quirky calendar, it is way too short. When I spoke last night that next Wednesday is the final Advent Midweek service, it sounded funny. Only three Midweeks. Too fast.
