So, this is something incredibly useful I can say in Latin now…

German Advent Service. Y’all come visit! 16:00 at Memorial Lutheran! stmang.org

I wonder: How many other pastors have a Hazel job that calls Pandoc to create a large-font sermon manuscript automatically from Markdown? #word #sacrament #keyboard

I’m not sure what just happened in my living room floor, but I do not approve! Ken has some explaining to do!

Since the whole secular world starts Christmas months(!?!?!) early, it’s okay that I started listening to Advent music today, right? 😎
