It is indeed a little taste of heaven on earth. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, the mess you describe in the ELCA is equally present in the LCMS (though flavored differently). Only the dear Lord knows what will become of Lutheranism, but the future looks not too bright in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Maranatha! Our Lord, come!William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1136965928488397492006-01-11T01:52:00.000-06:002006-01-11T01:52:00.000-06:00Thank you for your Sermon.Though not posted on my ...Thank you for your Sermon.<BR/>Though not posted on my journal, and not sure if I will, because I weary of the fight, is an entry on our Epiphany service ( Saturday vespers, because my husband was working in the morning), that was so bad I walked out and didn't even return for the Eucharist, a first for me. Add that to the shenanigans going on in our ELCA New york Synod, and approval through silence by our Presiding Bishop, I spent one of those nights wrestling, as did Jacob, and like him, I would be blessed.<BR/>Without as much a 5 minutes sleep and limping on my cane, because my arthritis was so bad, I did feel like Jacob. I told my daughter I would drop her at church early because I was going to another church. Due to recent arguments with her over these very issues, my announcement brought only silence and a slammed door. But I knew I couldn't go with her than morning. <BR/>I went somewhere that I have been drawn to, yet fought for many months now; I think you may know the place- to Zion Lutheran in Detroit, only 17 minutes away according to Mapquest, ( I did consider St. Paul in Hamel, but Mapquest brought me to my senses).<BR/>I didn't get there in time to talk with Father Fenton about communion, but even thoough I didn't get to participate in the Sacrement, I can say that for the first time in a long time, I felt I was in a place where God was worshipped in spirit and truth. <BR/>I just wanted you to know that listening to your preaching and teaching over the last few months, and the that of some others on KFUO left in me that ache you talk about in your sermon that cannot be filled with anything less than Jesus Christ. <BR/>Please keep us in your prayers that God would guide us in this very complicated situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
