For my congregation’s Advent midweek services we pray Evening Prayer from the Lutheran Service Book. I have always appreciated this liturgy, but especially this year. For what a joy to hear my children singing it, and especially my 2 year old singing “Lord, have mercy” and the refrain to the Magnificat. What a treasure to pass down.
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.
