and that isn't Mogen David in his hands.

Here is what the LCMS did in Ferguson, which was being part of the solution, instead of being part of the problem.

Instead of protesting ‘injustice’ they are promoting a false narrative that the police officer was a racist and a murderer. I hardly think that is edifying behavior from an clergy. Hate is a vice and that is what is driving their actions.

I tried to convince our LCMS congregation that the Eucharist deserves better, but they won't budge, they've used it for decades and can't imagine the wine being anything else.

Introduce them to Kedem—still a sweet red, but not nearly as cloying.

How can he walk with his pants that low. I am always tempted to go up and tug on the pants just to embarrass the dudes who dress like that.

I love to tell young kids what droopy pants REALLY means and they they are advertising.
