Resolutions

 

Someone asked about my New Year's resolutions. Publications are the easiest to predict and to procrastinate.

Parables are the current project, to be followed by the Titles of Jesus and a book on The Lutheran Hymnal hymns - public domain only, no cheesy Calvinist pop tunes, plenty of beautiful graphics.

I will do more with the KJV and distributing KJV Bibles.

I plan to lose more weight because my habits have changed completely - now greens, beans, vegetables, and nuts. I use the gym three times a week. One member got me started on heart health, and the rest followed - thank you Dr. Fuhrman.

In gardening I plan to multiply the hostas and cannas, fill in some roses, and enjoy Creation from the front patio - visitors welcome. 

I would like to travel East again, like last summer, with Sassy the Ferocious Guard Dog.



Approaching 9.8 Million Pages - Viewed with Satisfaction and Approval - Or Perhaps Mixed

 


I was smiling about the pastor who phoned to say I was publishing "nothing but lies and slander" and ended by saying, "Who is telling you all this?" He did not realize how he was giving away the truth of my reporting. I said, "It comes from your fellow pastors." He screamed and slammed the phone down hard (the good ol' days of sturdy phones).

One District President went out of his way to send outraged, anonymous emails from Garland, Texas, where he grew up. Once he realized how easily he showed up on software, he stopped. His buddies in the Appleton Alcoholic District also got to be too obvious or perhaps scolded by the Synod President, who would rather work undercover. 

Twitter has revealed how selected tweets were suppressed by their software to please the Left and suppress the news and opinions. I have seen wild fluxuations, downward after a huge volume of views on one topic - like the KJV. 

This blog was also halted, the excuse being that something was not allowed, though the dire and threatening comments were never proven in any way. Reducing views is supposed to be far more subtle.

I expect to be teaching only Old Testament in the future, which will give me more time, energy, and freedom to publish on Biblical topics.

 WELS stole this congregation's money and property, long after the DP kicked it out of the synod. What have they done with their booty?
