This seems to me to be the state of some Lutheran preaching today. I try to remember each sermon that I write “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

My mother’s health is deteriorating. She will more than likely enter hospice care on Tuesday. Her falling asleep in Jesus is not imminent, but yet on the horizon.

Bobby Bare turned 89 years old Sunday. This is a top-20 country hit from 1976. IIRC, it was a running joke in an episode of the TV show "Alice".
Bobby Bare "Dropkick Me Jesus" (Unedited Version)
Most versions of Bare's 1976 #17 hit omit the 3rd verse, so here is the full version for everyone to hear! Enjoy!

I don’t know if I am the type of person Bluesky wants on their platform. There are few Lutherans, let alone Christians, on this platform. Shrug.

One of the more important things I have taught my vicar this year is to BE PREPARED for Holy Week and Easter. Do the work early. Expect the unexpected, yes, but be prepared for what is expected. Then you won't stress and fret during Holy Week.

This song speaks for itself…if you can understand it.
Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol (HQ-Audio)
The song is intended to sound to its Italian audience as if it is sung in English spoken with an American accent, designed to be "Bob Dylan-esque";[1] however, the lyrics are deliberately unintelligible gibberish with the exception of the words "all right". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol
