For those who have been following my health (and praying for me - Thank you!) here is my first post-radiation update. The news is good, Thanks be to God!

@theemmacasey Install Christmas Lights. Only in the summer in Australia.

I want to get a job but I don't want to work in the summer ugh. I don't want to be a teacher!!!!!

@Ad_Crucem There are some at archive.org. But those are 30s-50s.

@pastoruac I dream that some amazing autist transcribed every word...

If anyone has copies of these LCMS Convention Workbooks, we would appreciate getting our hands on them: 1971, 1977, 1979, 1985-89, 1992 Digital preferred, but we will take physical as well.

@lovinglyprolife We've walked out of a church before service when they brought the screen down over the rose window. Some things you don't do.

It should be a crime to put up this ugly screen in front of that stained glass window 😩😭

@VodkaPundit Come to a Real Red State(tm), where we have less water and shorter mountains. Wide open, Wyoming! "Magnificent desolation."

Sigh. How bad are things in Colorado now that it's deep blue? Among other states, I'm checking Zillow for properties in Oklahoma. OKLAHOMA. That's pretty much anathema for southwesterners, but... JFC, these Democrats. pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/20…

Doing the full reading today, "There are three that agree in heaven..." Take that ESV scholars!

A few words about post modernism in the church. (TLDR: It's yucky!) predigtamt.wordpress.com/2026/04/09/pos…

@shebringsjoy Here are a few words about post modernism infiltrating our theology. predigtamt.wordpress.com/2026/04/09/pos…

@shebringsjoy I think the fairest analysis is that, while both desire confessional integrity in the church, Biermann is more open to post-modern methods of doing theology.

I am very confused about synod politics, and wondering why Pastor Biermann would be running against Pastor Harrison for the job of synod president. They both seem similar enough to not make a huge difference.

@MikeDFreedom @shebringsjoy Post-modernism must be rejected. Even when used as an exegetical method it is utterly at odds with scripture's own self-understanding.

@pastoruac @shebringsjoy Agreed… and further I’d say the post-modern methods would not be particularly good for the long-term sustenance of the church. $0.02.

"How was your weekend?" Well it started out kind of rough. A long time friend died suddenly. But then on Sunday he came back to life, so it all worked out. Overall it turned out to be a pretty good weekend.

@shebringsjoy Assets would include the copyright assignment as well. So Thrivent would hold it. They would likely allow you to reproduce, as long as you don't make a profit. But it's up to them.

I am seeking someone knowledgeable about how the Aid Association for Lutherans was formed/ended, etc. My daughter was given some Bible maps that the church was discarding, which were printed by the AAL and copywriten in 1966. They are quite beautiful, and I think people may like these for home teaching use. I would be willing to take them to scan at Staples, on one of their big machines, and have them create a downloadable file which could be taken to your local printing shop- but I don’t know what the copywrite around this would look like from a company which is defunct, but whose assets were merged with another companies assets.

@theemmacasey Opened my sermon with that one yesterday. Immediately after we sang it. BEST HYMN EVER!!!

gonna keep posting Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands lyrics all week

They must offer a great backend for sellers, but anytime I see "Shop" as the default checkout, I look to see if anyone else is selling the same thing.

Google has become so useless, I'm now using Grok for general searches. Win for Grok, I suppose. (Insert "We can't do it anymore" meme here.)

@becomelutheran Again, I reject the premise. The godly things to do are either move to a location where a faithful congregation exists, or start the process of planting a mission congregation that will be faithful.

@pastoruac It's a mental exercise, not a real situation I sharing. It exposes priorities. Think about it, don't take it too deathly seriously, and pick one. I promise I won't hold you to this answer in reality 10 years from now :)

LUTHERANS ONLY: If a person was looking for a church and these were their only options, which church would you tell that person to go to

@becomelutheran I guess you'd say I reject the premise.

@becomelutheran Moving somewhere with a faithful Lutheran church isn't an option? Are they being held hostage and forced to choose under threat of harm between two bad options?
