Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (3)

[dinkime]

done with work until august!!!


now to do things like clean house, get a hair cut, and get prepped for ukraine!

[porterross]

:hug:
Complicated, isn't it?

No wonder I'm unsure of what God wants me in this area. The last thing I want to do is satisfy my own desire and justify as His will.

I guess He's going to need to hit me with the big stick again to get my attention. :P You must be just as hard of hearing as I am. ^_^

[C.F.W. Walther]

Yea--it still hurts too much to talk about it. I'm gonna go to bed and try to forget.

[porterross]

I only forget what I most need to remember. Darn this getting old.

[DaRev]

I only forget what I most need to remember. Darn this getting old.

You know, there are two clear signs of old age.

One is loss of memory.

[porterross]

Hey! Everything else works fine....I just can't remember what it's for.

[DaRev]

Hey! Everything else works fine....I just can't remember what it's for.

Maybe you need a refresher course. ^_^

[Flipper]

I learned something tonight.

Bible Study gets to be lots of fun when you go to a wine tasting beforehand, and bring a bottle or two with you to share.


*HICCUP!!

[porterross]

Flipper!
Tee Hee....too bad you didn't accidently crash a Baptist Bible study in that state. Now THAT would be fun to watch.

Ha! ^_^ ^_^ We could sell tickets!! ^_^

[Flipper]

Do you remember what you studied? ^_^

Pentecost and the Holy Spirit. I learned something new. Did you know that the HS grieves? I didn't know that. It was a good study. I needed it.

However, being all relaxed, we had interesting comments to make.

Seriously, there is a Baptist group that meets at the Schlafly Bottle Works (that would be Beer) in Maplewood. I heard the SBC is trying to get them ousted from the Convention.

^_^ ^_^ That is too funny!

[DaRev]

Wednesday night I was teaching the confirmands about the elements in the Lord's supper and I let them taste the bread and wine so they would know what to expect when they receive the Lord's Supper for the first time.
There are three of them, but one girl is extremely allergic to alcohol (she can't even be around someone who is wearing perfume), so only two of them tasted the wine. I gave it to them in the little shot glasses (don't get me started). The simultaneously drank it, made the most horrific faces, and made a mad dash out of the sanctuary, down the stairs, through the fellowship hall, and into the kitchen for water.
It was hilarious!!

[porterross]

Did you giggle? We get "the look" for giggling a lot, but I always say it wasn't me. I don't think anyone believes me, though.

[Flipper]

Wine always gives me the giggles.

[porterross]

Champagne does that to me.

Fun, isn't it?

[DaRev]

Champagne does that to me.

Fun, isn't it?

Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about that! ^_^

[porterross]

But there is that fine line past which I fall asleep, so the frolic is short-lived.

Ctay, please accept this not as a personal affront to you, but as it is meant to be- A correction of your grammar.

"my 15-month old didn't sleep real WELL.", or "very well"

Sorry it is just one of the things that drive me crazy since marrying an English major 12-years ago this coming July 1.

the DMV sucks

and i hope they enjoy their long weekend while i am sleepy from getting up early to avoid long lines and wasted gas to drive and see a sign saying "closed" (and i checked to see if they were going to be open before i left)

My Guy always says that he needs the "Big Giant HAND" to come down and whack him for him to get things.

When I was in the hospital after my surgery, we were talking with Pastor about the "Big Giant HAND" and I looked over at Mike (my guy) and said "Could you please QUIT DUCKING!"

:D

Pastor got a good chuckle out of that one.

Kae

[porterross]

Are you saying men are a bit more stubborn, Kae? :P

Given the storms we've been having lately, I think He might be changing His method to lightening bolts! I prefer the stick. :sorry:

[DaRev]

Are we all such insolent creatures that God has to resort to such physical means to get our attention? All this talk about big sticks, hands, and lightning bolts... :eek:
And I'm no different. He's backhanded me a few times in my life. ^_^

[LilLamb219]

I've felt the hammer of the law before! :sigh:

[porterross]

I do my best to be much more obedient now, but sometimes the path He would have me on is not so apparent and the thought of screwing up brings the memory of the pain of being hammered to the surface.

[DaRev]

The thing we need to be mindful of, though, is not to be so fearful of the hammer blow that we're afraid to venture down the path that the Lord has laid before us. That can be very challenging.

[WildStrawberry]

Are you saying men are a bit more stubborn, Kae? :P

*laughing* Mike sure is.

I think it's that God is going to whack Mike with the big giant HAND and when Mike ducks, *I* get whacked instead! *G* but I didn't DO anything!!!

VERY GOOD SERMON DAREV!

What and instructional, interesting message was given. I wish my pastor would have sermons like that. I'm impressed. You have a wonderful presence and a gift. Brings a new perspective to you.

[Studeclunker]

My wife used to say, tounge in cheek of course, "I never make mistakes. There was, however, one time I thought I had. I was mistaken though.":doh: :scratch:

There are times when I think, as far as the Lord's concerned, that I'm deaf and blind. The Lord has to push and cuff me in the right direction. Sometimes it would be nice if the impetus given wasn't so rough though.:sigh:

[C.F.W. Walther]

One of the great American movie legends. One of the greats.


"Wayne came to symbolize political conservatism and a dedication to country. His stand against communism during the Cold War was so influential that Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin plotted to assassinate him, according to Michael Munn (http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&cf=gen&id=1800193484)'s 2005 biography "John Wayne: The Man Behind the Myth." Wayne famously said, "I always thought I was a liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a right-wing conservative extremist."

[C.F.W. Walther]

There's a little loud speaker on DaRev's character icons. Just press it.

Yes, now that I've listened with no distractions, I can honestly say that it was a home run. :thumbsup:

So when do we get to hear the next one? :)

Maybe next month. We'll see. ;)

My hubby has been celebrating the John Wayne centenniel all week. A couple of our cable channels have been showing his movies all week and he's watched as many as he could. Whether one agrees with his politics or not, he made some great movies. Too bad all those cigarettes killed him so soon.

His voice threw me off. I didn't expect it to sound like it did compared to his picture...not sure why. But I eventually got used to it.

I found Law and Gospel in there...how very Lutheran of you, Rev, with Gospel prevailing :clap:

The only thing I'm confused is...you asked them to sit at the beginning of the sermon and then at the end you asked them to sit again. When did they rise up?

[DaRev]

And also with you. ^_^

Gotta love Lutherans!!!

His voice threw me off. I didn't expect it to sound like it did compared to his picture...not sure why. But I eventually got used to it.

My voice is a bit off since my bout of flu during Holy Week. I don't know if its because of the dust around here or pollen or what. I've gone through this before. It'll get better soon... I hope! :pray:

When I do the Trinitarian invocation at the beginning the congregation will stand. I announce the text and then have them sit. At the end after I say "Amen" they stand again for the closing prayer. Then I seat them again. It's a tradition that this congregation has. I have been in others that do it too, but not all do.

I know that cigarettes cause lung cancer, but I was unaware that it caused "stomach cancer" which is what he died of in 1979.

[Studeclunker]

Revrand, I found your referrance to childbirth very interesting. I was there for my son's birth too. It was one of the most macabre experiances of my life. :eek: The wierdest part was when he came out kind of purplish in colour and covered in vernex... looked for all the world like a grape covered in sour cream (LOL:D ).

[C.F.W. Walther]

I didn't enjoy the first one being born and didn't go to the next. The last was breach and was miserable on mom. Wasn't that mystical, sharing and wonderful experience like everyone now days says it has to be. I think it's just a way for women to have men share the pain so they feel guilty.

That was exactly what my son looked like. ^_^ He was technically a week early. Normally that whitish covering dissolves during the final week before delivery.

I'm sure your visiting pastors might and as we will be having one here from back east I figured he needed to know. :P

It's been quite an interesting and amazing day. God and many in my congregation are laughing at me and I am like this :confused: :o :blush:

Oh, definitely! Don't you find it more than a bit amusing that my pastor just happens to be called out town for a few weeks, one of being when a certain other LCMS pastor will be in town and all this is revealed openly during the pastor's address after the benediction today? :swoon:
Everyone is thrilled that we will not have to go without communion for almost a month now, but Rev has to work on his vacation. :P

[LilLamb219]

So, Rev, are you nervous now??? :)

[DaRev]

So, Rev, are you nervous now??? :)

My main concern is not having my normal preparation time to prepare a sermon since I'll be on the road all that week. I do not want to disappoint.
But I'll get it done. I've done multiple sermons before. Sometimes I do my best work under pressure. :)

[WildStrawberry]

And also with you. ^_^

but did you stand up when you said that???

LOL

Kae

[LilLamb219]

Since the Holy Spirit guides you...you'll do just fine :)

Good night all, sweet dreams!:sleep:

[ctay]

The 15 month went home last night, the 7 yr old is still here, I got sleep last night but I still feel tired...VBS starts today.

[porterross]

Today?
Aren't a lot of people out of town for the holiday?
Some of the schools aren't even out for summer here as of yet.

[ctay]

Yes it started today, I wish they would have kept the orignal date of next week but they wouldn't listen to me. Lots of people are picnicing and out of town and stuff. I told them it wasn't a good idea. We got have the kids last year and the mood is different, the pastor got down to their level and had the kids really excited, this lady is leading the opening and closing this year and she's talking to them like they are adults and they were bored.

[C.F.W. Walther]

Holiday? It's like any other day to me. One of the grandkids was supposed to show up but never did. Oh well :sigh:

[DaRev]

Some of the schools aren't even out for summer here as of yet.

None of the schools are done here yet.

[dinkime]

most schools are done here, but not all -- the majority of the kdis had friday off!

Our schools are not out till the end of this week or next. Our church summer camp starts then!
My 14 yr old is helping with the 1st graders, he is excited and looking forward to it.

[ctay]

All the schools got out this past week here.

[Studeclunker]

Our schools here in No Cal are still in session as well. They will be for another week, I think.

Well, off to bed for another busy day of moving tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a happy Memorial Day Weekend.

My parents came over so my dad could use our work bench. He does reloading and wanted to make his shells smaller for the new gun he has, and our bench is heavy enough to handle his equipment, or something like that. I made German potato salad and grilled burgers and corn on the cob for dinner. Husband got home from work as we finished eating.

He's worked 72 hours from last Monday to yesterday. His only day off was Saturday. Granted the O/T pay is very, very nice, I'm kind of worried about him. He works this evening, so he can sleep in a little today.

[DaRev]

I love a good German potato salad. But I haven't had any in quite a while. The church I serve is Slovak, so it's halupki or pierogies, but no GPS.

[synger]

I do my best to be much more obedient now, but sometimes the path He would have me on is not so apparent and the thought of screwing up brings the memory of the pain of being hammered to the surface.
I remember in college doing a study of the way God leads us. The verse that stuck in my mind is "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (which was also a popular CCM song at the time, so it makes it easier for me to remember)

I grew up in a Scouting family, and usually spent summers at camp (dad worked at a Boy Scout camp). I had early experience with using a flashlight to light the path in front of me. The thing I remember most from this study is that image... and the fact that the light really only lights the next step, or the next two. It doesn't light the whole path. That's still in darkness, or is dim. And when you come to a branch in the path, you see only the branch... the choices... not where they lead.

God leads us step by step, illuminating our path as we trust in Him. But He doesn't always give us a detailed map of where we're going. Sometimes I'd like to see the Big Hand with its Laser Pointer of Illumination showing me exactly where I'm supposed to go... but that's just not how He works most of the time.

So I thank Him for the lamp for my next step, and let Him worry about the rest of the path.

[synger]

My husband loves potatoes and bacon, and hates anything with mayonnaise. He comes from a family with some German background, but he'd never had GPS until I made it for him. I wanted potato salad, but knew he wouldn't eat it if I made it with mayo. We had GPS a lot growing up (my Dad's family was very German), so it was like a taste of home. He really liked it, too.

[LilLamb219]

Synger, that would make a GREAT devotion!!

I don't like Mayo, nor Miracle Whip either. My mom supposedly makes a great traditional potato salad with mayo, but I wouldn't know. That's why I like the vinegar kind.

[Studeclunker]

I love mayo. The problem is it's an unrequited love. Mayo hates me. Anything with Soybean oil in it gives me fits. Just can't take that bio-diesel I guess...;) Actually, anything with soy at all is on my can't-have list. Sadly, that includes chocolate.:cry: I like GPM, cold though, not hot. GrandMum used to make it all the time. She also used to make a fried cookie that I forget the name of. They were wonderful.

You can make it yourself and use a different oil. Here's what's supposed to be a good, easy recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_16262,00.html

If mayo isn't the main ingredient I taste, I will use it in cooking (makes cakes suprisingly moist), but I can't stand the taste of traditional mayo/mustard potato salad.

I have the same problem as you with beans - all beans cooked in almost every way, the only exception being string beans. I can have them in very tiny amounts, and I have to make sure I chew thoroughly and make sure there's an antacid nearby - it's just easier to omit completely.

I love me some taters and mayo. In fact, I carry some around with me all the time. It just stays with me!

Hey all, what's going on this fine Tuesday afternoon?

[porterross]

God and DaRev are conspiring against me.

How about you, Kim?

[DaRev]

God and DaRev are conspiring against me.

Are you sure it isn't the other way around? ^_^ ^_^

[C.F.W. Walther]

What? I was going to make a huge tub of mayo-mustard potato salad the weekend of the June 17th.What a coincidence. I just spooned out a big glob of MM potatoe salad onto my dish with a piece of fried chicken...................ummmmmmm...............

Hey all, what's going on this fine Tuesday afternoon?

Hi Kim!

Gotta run to take my daughter to gymnastics class in a bit...then I have to hurry up and get her to choir rehearsal after that...well, actually she'll need to leave early. What a rush tonight is!

How's everything?

[Flipper]

mmmmmmm, fried chicken... like taking a bite out of Heaven.

[DaRev]

Ha! ^_^ I know a lot of things taste like chicken, but I didn't know that heaven was one of them. ^_^

[porterross]

No fried food in Heaven! I would like to leave this caboose here.

[DaRev]

But there's no calories in heaven.

[porterross]

Someone in Bible study suggested we may likely have no gender either. If there are no men in Heaven than I want to wait in the lounge eternally before being seated.

I'm sure you guys may know what is in heaven but I absolutely know that " In heaven there is no beer, that's why we drink it here". So guzzle up.

[porterross]

Good point, Rad. I'll take the champagne. :yum:

[DaRev]

Good point, Rad. I'll take the champagne. :yum:

:eek: You know how you get!

;)

[Flipper]

If there's no beer in heaven, would it be because we don't need it, because we'll be perpetually tipsy?

If I can find one, I have to show you a picture of our latest furniture purchase. On the outside, it looks like a big armoire (sp), but when you open it, it's a bar with enough shelves for 55 bottles of wine, AND a wine fridge. We're calling it the Wine Shrine. It will also hold my harder liquor supply that is currently sharing space with cleaning stuff under the sink. Yuck.

[porterross]

Party at Flipper's house!

[Flipper]

Actually, I'm having one on June 17. It's for my husband's co-workers, but it has never been limited to them in the past. Anybody who wants to come is welcome. I know it's a Sunday, but most of his co-workers are in college and aren't scheduled to work on Monday. I usually just go to bed when I'm ready, and let everyone else keep partying. I'm a sound sleeper.

[ctay]

I like mayo but hate mustard.

[porterross]

:eek: You know how you get!

;)

Shhhhh....don't tell EVERYONE! :doh:



Actually, I'm having one on June 17.


I would love to be there, but there is a visiting pastor coming to my church that weekend and I hear he may need to be kept in line so I best stay put as I am having to play host and chaperon him. :D

[Flipper]

Hmmm. Would I know who this visiting pastor is?

I have my next appointment on June 7th. *fingers crossed and :crosseo: being said*

It's good to hear the wee lad is on the mend. Perhaps he can live up to his name more. Ye'll have a wee Tigger bouncin' round the house soon.

Thank you for the kind wishes, Bloomer. I hope so too. Things aren't looking so rosey. But then, the Lord knows better than we do, so... Leave it to Him I guess.

Flipper, my friend Paula and her fiance' recently purchased a mobile home in the Pine Cove park where Paula lives. Included in the purchase, was a beautiful, hand carved portable bar. The thing is absolutely GORGEOUS! It's hand carved teak with birds and vines. The top is green marble and folds out butterfly style. The front opens and supports the leaves whilst holding the bottles. Paula, fearing the consequences of having liquor in the house,:eek: sold it for a song.:swoon: Oh well, her loss I guess.:sigh:

well, the relay for life i was at tonight -- started at 7, suppose to go until 7 tomorrow morning -- about 10 ish they came on the PA -- big storms heading our way, police have advised to end the event :( so i am home instead of up all night! :)

Aww, what a shame Becky. I'm sure that is very disappointing. Heres a hug to cheer you up :hug:

[dinkime]

thanks jim -- then it didn't even rain, lol -- but they still raised 100s of 1000s of dollars for cancer research/etc

[dinkime]

and there were a ton of very proud, very strong purple shirted survivors!

[LilLamb219]

thanks jim -- then it didn't even rain, lol -- but they still raised 100s of 1000s of dollars for cancer research/etc

Better to be safe than sorry though (about shutting down because of bad storms).

It's great that so much money was raised! :clap:

[latebloomer]

You must have had a great turnout for Relay. They don't raise nearly as much here, but we're a small town. Tiger is going to walk the survivor's lap with his grandma when we have Relay here in a couple weeks.

[dinkime]

it was the school district i was in -- 4 high schools, i believe 4 middle schools, and 8-12 elementary schools -- and it is a rich district for the most part (rockwood for the locals, lol)

i know we had $100,000 raised from BEFORE the night began, and i know that did not include what some of the schools had done for fundraisers, etc -- that was just registrations and online donations, etc

i know the school i was at probably raised $8000+ -- we did a run/walk, $2 a friday for teachers to wear jeans (x45+ staff, x12 weeks), plus other fundraisers during the year that all raised $500+

[latebloomer]

There have been a lot of Relay fundraisers around here lately. Bake sales, garage sales, bracelets. On Tiger's last day of preschool last week, I found a Relay bracelet in his backpack that someone had left at the school for me. My teenage niece in Wisconsin has been doing Relay fundraising because of Tiger. I think the one here last year raised over $10,000.

[porterross]

Ours here are always in April, but it was cancelled early due to severe weather. I don't think it hurt their fundraising, though.

[dinkime]

well, 2 weeks and i will be doing the komen walk for breast cancer....

[porterross]

How far is it?

[WildStrawberry]

I just want to say, as a Cancer recoverer (don't wanna "jinx" it by saying "survivor" 'till my 5th year! :D)

THANK YOU!!!

to everyone who walks, raises money, prays for and helps to defeat this monster called cancer.

Much love!

Kae

[dinkime]

no clue, it is a run/walk/fun walk -- last year we did not even walk the route, lol

[ctay]

Sure has died down in this thread. Went to my mother's church yesterday, I was going anyway, didn't want to be at the one I've been attending with the Pres. giving communion. My sister ended up getting her baby baptized after church yesterday. My 7 yr old granddaughter went up to the pastor after the baptisim and told him her name was Trinity like the Holy Trinity and she told him she learned about the Holy Trinity at my church. The pastor just looked at me. I'm going to another LCMS church this coming sunday I think.

[dinkime]

in 2 weeks (father's day) my Godson is being "dedicated" at a non-denom church...we will see how it really is and what i will need to do at the service

[DaRev]

Technically, I don't think he would be called your "Godson" since "dedication" is not baptism.

What she said!!

I will be missing Relay for Life this year as I will be at the LWML convention in Sioux Falls.

I also have my checkup next week. This is the one where they do more bloodwork, chest xray, mammo and who knows what all else. Makes for a long day, but when I see my Dr. in the afternoon, I usually get to do a Happy Dance!!

Kae, you will have to let us know how your checkup goes. How many years know? I seem to have forgotten.

[QuiltAngel]

Ok, I know I have been away the last 10 days or so. I come back and read that DaRev is going to be a visiting Pastor at the church Porter attends. When did this meeting in person get scheduled. I think you both need chaperones!! Yes, I know how rowdy pastor's get.

I have given up trying to understand any of it. Most of my congregation thinks it's the most entertaining event since Lonesome Dove was filmed here. :doh:

Ditto. I'll be praying for good doctor reports. Tiger's next is on Monday.

I'm a little sad yet happy today. My father's closest friend passed away yesterday. He had numerous ailments, including recently diagnosed cancer. I think the only thing he didn't suffer from was baldness. He'd been sick a long time. The Lord released him from his earthly pain and took him Home. :) But we're gonna miss him. :( Anyway, he was Lutheran, so there will be jello at the funeral....

Aww, poor Paris. I can't believe they through her in jail ;) that is in one where she could get out so soon :P I'll bet she sures the county for some traumatic injuries or some such thing, and she will probably win. :eek:

[LilLamb219]

In a way, I'm glad they're sending her back, but in a way, I feel sorry for her.

[QuiltAngel]

Aw, thanks you all. I am thankful everyday that God sent me wonderful doctors.

Latebloomer, sorry to hear about the family friend.

[Jim47]

In a way, I'm glad they're sending her back, but in a way, I feel sorry for her.

One can only hope that jail might actually do her some good. I doubt that she even knows the meaning of dicipline or having to sacrifice something, but she will have a small education now.

[QuiltAngel]

Well, I am glad they sent her back. These young starlets who are famous for being famous are pulling all sorts of stunts that get them in trouble and then get their hands slapped. Then we wonder why our own kids think they can do anything and not pay the consequences.

Now if she has a medical need that would be a need for her to be released, proper channels need to be followed.

Reading the story of her being sent back, she cries "it's not right" and "Mom". This is one time where Mom can't control it.

It is not right that she was driving under the influence and violating her parole.

Now, she and all her contemporaries are in my prayers that they can get their act together and become responsible adults.

Ok, guess you now know what I think.

[porterross]

Very well put, QA.
Such unproductive young adults are used to their parents' money paying their way into or out of anything they want.

[Jim47]

I heard the medical reason was that she wasn't eating the jail food. If she thinks that is bad she should have to live for 15 monthes on what I ate in Viet Nam. That was real garbage. I only weighed 145 pounds when I came home. The food was so greasy that most of it was unedible. C-rations were a treat, and in 1968 when I was over there, they were from 1945-1955. Nothing new for sure.

[porterross]

Hey! There's a brilliant idea. Harry Potter's baptism.

[dinkime]

if you have read the books, Harry was baptised as an infant and has a Godfather.... ;)

[latebloomer]

Does DaRev want to rope some doggies? We have lots of strays around here. It seems like all we have done at work lately is deal with doggies.

But if he wants dogies, he'll have to look somewhere else.:D

[QuiltAngel]

Hi seajoy! Great to see you again.

Other than the poolside baptism and Harry Potter (they are making a theme park for him), DaRev is heading out on vacation - seems he is visiting family in StL and then sneaking into Texas to be a fill in Pastor at Porter's church. It seems to be quite the topic.

Well, I need to do things around here, that laundry pile seems to be growing as well as other stuffs.
Later all

[DaRev]

DaRev is heading out on vacation - seems he is visiting family in StL and then sneaking into Texas to be a fill in Pastor at Porter's church. It seems to be quite the topic.

First going to Colorado to see my brand new grandbaby. :clap: THEN it's off to St. Louie to see my other son and grandson. :clap: Then on to Texas. :clap: But I would hardly call it "sneaking." That would presume that no one knows I'm coming, and I hardly think that's the case... right, Porter? ;)

[QuiltAngel]

Oops, forgot about Colorado and the new grandchild. Ok, you aren't exactly sneaking into Texas as everyone here knows you are going.

Have a great trip.

[Flipper]

When you get to St. Louis, avoid Highway 40, and I-255 near the river. Construction is nasty.

[DaRev]

Well, folks, I'm heading out on my westward trek. Pray for me. I may be able to pop in from time to time to say 'hello.'

[ctay]

Last sunday I went to my old church, today I went to another one. I may stick with this one, going to go again next sunday to it, the regular pastor wasn't there. They have a retired pastor going there and he did the sermon and service. He first got up there and said he was celebrating his 44th aniversary of his 39th birthday. All in all he gave a good sermon. This is the church where I went with on the trips to Biloxi and New Orleans. I was talking today to one of the people that went on the trip. I asked him if there was another trip in the process, he said there's been just talk and since our pastor left that they said something about not asking the ones that's been on the trip at our church to come but he told me I'd be more than welcome to come if they did one. They started this church that I had been going to and since its grown some since it started, I think they are trying to break away. Both youth groups used to get together all the time at either church but they hadn't done that in over a year. Like I said I'm going to go back next sunday

[dinkime]

good ctay! i am glad you enjoyed it


but why leave out your old church since the pastor left? that seems like an odd reason....

[ctay]

Something about being in between pastors and not knowing what's going to happen with the church.

[dinkime]

that seems like a weird excuse...now is a time the church without a pastor needs the most support and by continueing to include the members, that would be happening...odd....

[ctay]

The pastor that just left this church I've been going to did his vicarage at the other church. They may be thinking on the lines about if the church gets another pastor soon, the pastor may not want to be involved with the other one, I think they just want to see what happens. I think it would be neat even if the youth in the circuit would get together to do something once a month.

[dinkime]

even if a new pastor dies not want the ties as much, i would think right NOW, though, without a pastor, they would want to help now...

i hope that things improve a little and that the youth start doing more together -- i know from doing our youthgroup that it is hard enough to get the kids at ONE church together, let alone 2 or more! -- and the youth doing things together is a great step in keeping the churches doing other things together as well

Tiger had a good checkup. He's gained a pound and grew almost 1/2 inch since last month.

Tiger is on a medicine to be given at bedtime on an empty stomach. He's on another medicine this week that makes him constantly hungry.:scratch:

[porterross]

Gotta love those medication mixtures, don't ya? Poor little guy.

Great news on his growth. Way to go, Tiger! Prayers for no medicine at all very soon.

[latebloomer]

Another 2 1/2 years to go--that's the protocol. It takes 3 1/2 years, on average, to treat boys. It's only another 3 days of steroids for this month. He's been hungry for oatmeal the last few days. Add in a growth spurt, and he's also not happy because the weather finally got warm here and he's not allowed to go to the swimming pool until next week. He fell down and conked his head on a rock this weekend. Blood all over, trip to ER, one staple in his scalp. Typical boy.

[ctay]

Sounds like good news, hope he keeps doing well, God bless you and your family

[ctay]

Forgot to mention the president is doing the service sunday, still have a problem with that, the communion part anyway.

[porterross]

That's a shame, Ctay. How come no one has called him on it?

On the flip side, everyone here is excited about having an ordained pastor here this Sunday so we can have communion for the first time in a month. Many of our members have never attended a Lutheran service led by visiting pastor and they're having a good time with it to make sure he feels welcome. The little stinker! ;)

[ctay]

We're going to a town called Mentone in Alabama the 6th and 7th, got a cabin with a hot tub. I'm counting down the days.

That's a shame, Ctay. How come no one has called him on it?

On the flip side, everyone here is excited about having an ordained pastor here this Sunday so we can have communion for the first time in a month. Many of our members have never attended a Lutheran service led by visiting pastor and they're having a good time with it to make sure he feels welcome. The little stinker! ;)
I did, said they told him he could. Another lady did, said they told her he got a letter from the synod that said he could do it for a year. He went through that 1 program, can't think of the name right now.

Ok from reading some of this I have a question. In my church, it's nothing to have 600-800 there for a service. Our pastor gives communion, but also has elders give communion, so there can be multiple lines and it not take up almost all of the service. Are most of you saying that's wrong?

We're getting an assoc. pastor (actually he used to be in my original Bible Study when I started going, I'm kind of excited about that), and there are a couple of pastors in the congregation. So, when our pastor is out, there's no problem having a pastor take his place, and I think they all help out during communion on any Sunday. I think I remember only one Sunday where our Director of Worship Arts, who is a DCE, did the service, but there was no communion in that service.

No, he's out of state helping his mother move and sell her house and the other LCMS pastor in the area will also be on vacation for the next 2 week.

Unless there is an ordained pastor to bless the elements there can be no communion, but our elders also help distribute. Of course, I much prefer to receive both elements from a pastor, which will happen this Sunday for the first time since I was in England.
Rev's system allows for him to distribute both the host and the chalice while the elder distributes the individual cups. Being a traditionalist, it will mean a great deal to me to be able to receive both elements from an ordained man.
