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.

Only One Driveway Cleared - By the Oldest Resident in the Cul-de-Sac
Minnesotans and South Dakotans know what a real snowstorm leaves behind. |
I shocked the Walmart cashier today - "I am the oldest person on the cul-de-sac, and the only one with a cleared driveway." She was as shocked as I was.
We were responsible for cleared walks in Moline, and my parents encouraged me to do it for free. A pedestrian's slip on ice could have earned a ticket plus a great deal of disgust. "What's wrong with these lazy kids? In my day..."
In Arkansas, shoveling snow is considered a mental disorder. At a group meeting, when we first moved here, one man said, "I grew up in Arkansas. I DO NOT SHOVEL SNOW!"
I already went to the gym today, so the idea of leaving slush, ice, and snow on the walks and driveway seemed a bit hypocritical. No one did the walks in the neighborhood, so I did mine plus another where the resident had just moved away.
Youth no longer mow lawns or shovel snow.
