What I Did This Week, no. 15

repair

This was a week filled with stuff to do, at least on the back half. Colorado Confessional Lutherans, church cleaning, even a cookout highlighted the activities. However, they all happened Thursday or later.

Mid-week Lent V

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ - Calvary

Mid-week Lent V 2014 Wordle
In the name of Jesus. Amen.

The reading of any genealogy has underscoring it the very mortality of those on it. You look at the history of your family—your family tree—and names are almost always accompanied by a date or year of birth and a date and year of death. From generations past, men and women were born and died, begetting and birthing the next generation, all the way down to you. And they died.

Judica

John 8:42-59

Judica 2014 Wordle
In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear hearers, there are three in number which seek your overthrow—three beings or forces which seek to turn you away from God and the grace He has for you in Christ and the work Jesus did in His ministry and ultimately in His dying on the cross and rising again from the grave. These three use any means possible, drawing from their own resources, to lure you away from the truth and into the lie that leads to death and eternal damnation, to the place prepared for the devil and His angels. (cf. Matthew 25:41)

What I Did This Week, no. 14

smoke and spice and busted hoses

Something busted this week. It can be fixed. It will be fixed. It’ll just take a little time...more like it’ll wait for the right time. Otherwise, this week has been pretty normal. I also got to barbecue again for the first time since January.

Mid-week Lent IV

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ - The Praetorium

Mid-week Lent IV 2014 Wordle
In the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Law was Given:

  • You shall have no other gods.
  • You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
  • Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
  • Honor your father and your mother.
  • You shall not murder.
  • You shall not commit adultery.
  • You shall not steal.
  • You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
  • You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
  • You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

What does He say of these commandments? “I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” (Exodus 20:5-6)

Improved Opinion

Mr. Wil Wheaton

Admittedly, my opinion of Wil Wheaton has always been colored by the roles that I've seen him play—Wesley Crusher on Next Generation, Dr. Isaac Parrish on Eureka, occasionally "himself" on Big Bang Theory—arrogant, self-righteous, pompous; type-cast as unlikable. This video has changed that; I have new-found respect for the man.

Monoprice Logo

If you have need of some inexpensive cables—HDMI, VGA, USB, RCA...you name it—then Monoprice has what you're looking for. Their prices are exceptional, even with shipping costs, and their products are quality. We're currently using a few routers from them, plenty of USB cables, and phone cases, among some other things. I highly recommend checking them out (http://www.monoprice.com/).

What I Did This Week, no. 13

new computer, platinum trophy

Ahhh, lucky 13. Yeah, there really isn’t anything that happened to call this week lucky. There wasn’t anything that happened to call this week unlucky. It’s another week that happened, another week in the life of Geoffrey, another week as pastor at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Mid-week Lent III

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ - The Palace of the High Priest

Mid-week Lent III 2014 Wordle
In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Does it not look strange to you? Here is Jesus, the Son of God, the Great High Priest and Prophet of prophets, the King of kings and Lord of lords, standing bound and beaten before the Sanhedrin—put on trial. Is this any way for royalty to be treated? Is this any way for a priest to be treated? Is this any way for the Son of God, very God of very God to be treated?
