Radidio--

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.

It's an excellent sermon. I've listened to it twice.

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

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?

Gotta love Lutherans!!!

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!

I hope it's Lutheran! I mean, I am one afterall.

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.

She might have been thinking of the Marlboro man. He died of lung cancer. Just a guess.

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. 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 ).

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.
