Please Pray For Us

I've been silent for a while, and will be silent for longer still.
My parents were in a car accident last week, and my father passed away last night.
Please pray for my mother and my family.

thank you

I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing right now. I give thanks to God for the life and witness of your Dad and for the wonderful love he shared with those in his midst. I pray that our Lord will comfort and sustain you and your family, for healing for your Mom, and that you will find peace and strength for the days ahead in the knowledge of Resurrection victory, and love and support of family and friends.

Brian: All of us here in the LTSG Community love and admire you and mourn with you as you mourn. Words are inadequate, but as I said last night, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and you are not alone.

You don't know me; I was directed here by Law and Gospel. As a 50-something seminarian with many family responsibilities who lost mother and brother to a car accident when I was a child, I have some idea of the anguish you are experiencing, and I know well what a solitary and confusing road grief creates. I am praying already for your mother's full recovery and for all of you as you deal with the terrible loss of your father and the reconfigured life ahead of you. May the presence of God be wrapped around you in comfort and solace.

Oh, Coach. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that another seminarian a thousand miles away is praying for you and your mom. I know that there is absolutely nothing I can say to make you feel better, but please know that my empathy goes out to you. Peace, in your own time, my friend.

Oh Yeah, Football

Quick Random Football Notes The BCS should be abolished. The OSU deserves to be in the title game, but making a case for LSU, Oklahoma or USC is very easy. I hate the ESPN whiners saying how tough a playoff would be. I think the sweater vest can use the extra resources at The OSU in a playoff a little better than he did at Youngstown State where he won 3 National Titles in 1AA. If division 3 non-scholarship teams can play a 16 game tournament, so can the megabucks schools. Michigan will be better off for not having Les Miles. Why Brian Kelly is not on any list amazes me. I'd love to see GoBlue call the sweater vest and offer a blank check. The Pats beat the Ravens to stay undefeated. The Ravens whine about "phantom calls." Mugging isn't a phantom crime. Losing your composure isn't a phantom crime. Having an "offensive genius" run an offense that has held back an all-time defense isn't a phantom crime. Billick is the only person in the NFL who need

Lutheran Carnival LV

Prepare Ye is proud to host the 55th Lutheran Carnival . As I'm preparing to pack up and move to Gettysburg to enter the Seminary there, I thought I'd volunteer to host the carnival and delay packing up the computer for one more weekend. Please ignore the mess, the assorted boxes and bubble wrap just laying around and enjoy the submissions. (Oh, if you carry any boxes - be sure to lift with your legs!) The posts are listed in submission order: The Tour Marm presents I Saw a Man Walk on the Moon , a touching look back on her memories and relationship with her stepfather. Write to right presents 3 Easy Steps On How To Create A Productive Life , an enlightening essay on how to do what's truly important. I wish I would have seen the "Strip Out the Useless" advice before I started packing! The Pistol Packin' Presbytera presents National Ice Cream Day: Passing On Family Traditions , a post which links the past and present as she describes family and friends

And Music Still On MTV

"1985" by Bowling for Soup A quick tale of woe from a second-career seminarian. I don't know how the conversation got started, (I blame Law & Gospel ) but I got in a conversation with some of my class mates who are pipeliners. The discussion was about embarassing clothing. I grew up in the 70's & 80's, the two decades that provided the most opportunities for fashion crimes. If you were ever at the height of fashion coolness in those decades, you do NOT want to show anyone those photos now. One of my classmates (bless her heart) said, "I didn't even go to school in the 80's." I honestly have clothes here with me that are older than many of my classmates. I'll take my arthritic knees and kneel to pray before I go to bed. Hopefully I can get up. I know my experience will pay off sometime soon, but how long must I wait O Lord?
