New Dialogue Thread

I frequently peruse the various Lutheran forums, and it's always so sad because there are never any new posts. Where is everybody?

We're Lutherans. We are a quiet people.

How much snow do you have up there in St. Paul?

This lends itself to us being the Frozen Chosen.

We evangelize by having babies.

What? I posted just 12 hours before you in this very sub-forum on "The loud..." thread. Talking church-split too substantive for you?
Also I've been active in the "Apostolic Churches" sub-forum within the "Faith Groups" section, the threads "Breathing with Two Lungs" and the "RC vs. EO" thread. Some broadening ideas for you there. (Broadening out from just Lutheran parochialism, but narrowing if you consider restricting oneself within Apostolic Succession strictures.)

We've only got about an inch or so, but the high temperature for the day is supposed to be a balmy 19.

I should move to Minnesota!

I think we hit a high of 17 here in northern Illinois, and I'm guessing that we've had three inches of heavy, wet, ugly snow.

What do you want to talk about?

Ethics. To what extent are the two Lutheran ethical ideas of estates (life is divided up into three divisions church, state, family) and holding offices (husband of a wife, parent, minister, etc.) informative of ethical decisions, if at all?

I think you are raising an interesting question here. Can you put some flesh on it? Maybe suggest a ethical dilemma to which these categories can be applied...

Here in west-central illinois there is nice everywhere. It's not exactly cold I'd estimate in the high 30s but the ice is bad and it snowed again real bad tonight.

Friday it snowed in NYC. Sleet and all and then it all froze up.
I cleaned my car up tonight for tomorrow ... but the door does not close! The latch does not click.
I never had anything like this happenning to me before.
So when I drive I need to kind of hold on to the door.

ah yes...as the Good Book says, "Many are cold, but few are frozen"...

why does everyone want to be Lutheran when Christ returns?...because the "dead in Christ shall rise first"...


thank you...I'll be here all week...

I am getting tired of winter...and it only just started.

I am getting tired of winter...and it only just started.

I have noticed that unlike past years too many people are very wary of this winter ... and it just started.

Maybe the times we are going through ... storms, political fights, economy, loss of jobs and simple worries take it's toll on people.

Perhabs people are simply getting worn out.

Just an observation.

Thanks,
Ed

Winters have always taken their toll on me. I'm not made for cold weather. And like a lot of people of northern European descent, I get a touch of SAD when the days get short.

One of my winter joys is firing up my big old snow throwing and clearing out driveways. I've done it so many times this year that it has already lost its luster.

My other great winter joy is celebrating the birth of the Savior. Blessed Christmas to you, Ed...

...and to everyone who read this!
