Additions to the Blogroll
This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. There are millions of blogs out there. Many of them quite good. It’s just not possible to put every worthwhile blog on one’s blogroll. I do try to promote my fellow LCMS (Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) bloggers. But tonight I [...]

This is a notice to all the Lutheran bloggers out there. What would you think about us scheduling a get-together? Many of us already know each other, but this would still be a great chance to meet and greet.
Here’s the idea. The annual theological symposia at Concordia Theological Seminary, Ft. Wayne [...]
Madonna: Prophetess of Doom
Madonna has now become a prophetess of doom. Not The Madonna, as in St. Mary the Mother of God. But as in Madonna Ciccone, pop super-star, aka Esther.
According to Matt Drudge, Madonna has proclaimed that everyone will go to hell if they don’t turn from their wicked ways. Uh, yeah. That’s true. I [...]
