Tomorrow - Working on the New Video System

 I have had some heart-warming responses to my classes in education and Old Testament.

The video, which I shoehorned into the masthead, is my experiment with making videos on the front page, instead of linking them elsewhere.

Masthead is the ship lingo used for the standard name and symbol of a newspaper - editor, publisher, location, and slogan. The WELS-LCMS-ELS readers are no longer complaining that a blog about apostasy deals with - how shall I say it? - apostasy. Ichabod does mean "the glory has departed from Israel."

Until recently, the  masthead was easy to modify. Blogger decided to make it HTML code only, so I have to figure out the little symbols to make the message show up correctly in the browser. 

The test video is Vimeo because I wanted to see whether the mike made a difference (no) and whether I could put the Sunday video on the front page, starting up on schedule (yes).

Every so often I read this on Facebook, "We have been listening to your worship services for years."

One layman says he looks for post three times a day, morning-afternoon-late evening. A lot of times I think of this organ donor as motivation to write one more article. A lot of people are very encouraging and the ankle biters are no longer emailing their wisdom, like, "Why don't you stop?" and "When you finally die, everyone will be so happy." They were encouraging too, and some readers miss the fireworks, even if the opposition only had sparklers.
