We were flying back from North Carolina to Phoenix, during the LCMS vote for synodical president. I composed this parody during the flight, with apologies to Glenn Campbell.
By the Time I Get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix they’ll be voting
They’ll start the vote Kieschnick winning on the floor
He laughed when he read the news
which had him losing
Cause he’s fixed so many votes like this before. (voice cracking)
By the time I make Albuquerque he’ll be winking
He’ll prob’ly stop for prayer and give God a call
But He'll just hear that prayer keep on nagging
Jesus is not First in Jerry's call.
By the time I make Oklahoma they’ll be drinking
They’ll lift their beer and curse CN out loud
And they’ll cry just to think God’d really leave them
Tho’ time and time He tried to tell them so.
Mo. just didn’t know God would really go.

The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
