| Snow on the Mountain |
The Daily Luther Sermon Quote has reached beyond the 400 mark, depending how the label system works.
- At first I thought the blog posting of entire sermons was a good way to get Lenker's Luther's Sermons around.
- Later I had the help of many editors - plus the art of Norma Boeckler - to print the volumes.
- Recently I began the Daily Luther Sermon Quote to wake up clergy and laity.
If no one read the short passages, I would still be reading them. Once upon a time i had a packet of Snow on the Mountain. I had no quick place for planting the seeds, so I tossed them into the bulb collection around the garage...and forgot. One day I saw a peculiar weed among the flowering bulbs. My squinty eyes examined the weed and revealed the surprise - Snow on the Mountain - not the stuff grown in the shade (Bishop's Weed). Everyone wanted to give me Bishop's Weed but they were shocked they only grew something with such a coarse name.
Bishop's Weed - "Although it has extremely vigorous growth and invasive tendencies, bishop's weed is useful in the right setting. If you are looking for an easy-to-grow groundcover to quickly fill a confined space, consider this plant [weed]."
Today I pulled volume 1 of Luther's Sermons off the shelf, to make sure I had the passage that I enjoyed, one of those surprises. The donor gave me the set and just celebrated her anniversary, so I sent some flowers.
