A. Nony Mouse has left a new comment on your post "Rev. Mouse Misses the Boat on Jonah":
BTW, you've never answered the question in the Jonah post that asked how many years you served as a parish pastor, compared to the number of years you spent in an academic setting, gathering a number of degrees. Full disclosure - what is the answer? The point is that cogitating on these matters is not the same as living among a congregation and carrying out ministry. It is hard, imprecise work - often rewarding, but sometimes frustrating. How much experience do you have on the front lines, compared to sheltering in the rear guard, out of any real danger, lobbing smart bombs at a distant enemy?

GJ - Answered in the autobiography. Please take time to read before posting another unseemly hissy-fit. As anyone can tell, I provide 50 plus sermons per year plus 26 live Holy Communion services. One clear indication of a live service is the worship bulletin. A little math will show that I have served 35 years as a pastor.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. 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.
