Another Lutheran blog...
Following recent depletions to the Lutheran Blogosphere, it's good to have the chance to say "hello" rather than "goodbye" for once... Daniel Stoddart drew my attention to his friend Brian Davis's blog, Barukatash.com (not to be confused with Life of Brian, also added to my blogroll). Brian has recently joined the LCMS and describes himself as a "recovering Calvinist" (a term I've been known to use myself - we'll have to form a support group).
His site currently includes a very cute picture of his son, Sam, after his recent baptism. In the comments, someone suggested that Sam had been slain in the Spirit...
Speaking of which, I think our three-year old is going Pentecostal. I'm trying to get us into the routine of praying briefly together after his Bible story last thing at night (one "extempore" prayer, followed by the Lord's Prayer and Luther's "little prayer" from the Small Catechism). He's happy to go along with anything that delays his bedtime by a couple more minutes. But yesterday, he insisted on clapping rather than saying "Amen". "You say Amen," he informed me solemnly, "and I'll clap". So he did.
Well, at least he didn't say, "Whoo! Let's bless the Lord!" at the same time.
