    It used to be my blog, but I gave it up for quite some time. The Gospel of Barney: In our Neo‐pagan, Hedonistic Narcissistic Society If you are easily offended do not read this! What the ELCA is today is totally foreign to what I was ordained and called to at Stella Lutheran Chapel on…

  • “Descended to Hell”

    “Descended to Hell”

    “DESCENDED TO HELL” It is optional now in the Apostles Creed. It is necessary in my book! Having been there myself on more than one occasion I took great comfort in the fact Jesus had beaten me there, beaten the Devil, and saved me from ever fearing an eternal residency in hell! In reality it…

  • In the beginning

    “In the beginning God”- (Genesis1:1/NIV) Truthfully in any and all beginnings God; in the middle of God, and in all endings God too. There is no time or place God is not!

    Presentism

    “Presentism – that historical sin of applying present-day virtues upon the past. – Merriam- Webster” I was disappointed watching the History Channel’s “Theodore Roosevelt” He was being judged for not advancing the civil rights of African Americans and Native Americans!
