Saved by Grace. But not by Golf.




But Is It Lutheran?

This is the stuff we always ask ourselves before engaging in any activity.

Is this gonna be something Garison Keiler can exploit?

Is this something that will be uneatable when finished?

That will allow us to participate in a communal seeking of Grace?

Will it involve asking for forgiveness when we're finished?

Usually Lutherans try to avoid getting God's attention.

But there are exceptions.  And this stunt appears to be one of them.

So as a Lutheran, after going through the checklist above, we know that if you can answer yes to these questions, then yes, it's Lutheran.

Very.

But what about these guys?

I'd say hella yeah.  They are SO Lutheran. God Love 'em and bless their hearts.

Truly, do you see the Baptists having this kind of fun?
Right.  Didn't think so.  The Baptists never ask:
Does it involve balls?

Does it involve a big stick?

Does it involve accurate aim?

Does it involve the ability to worship on green grass or include an appreciation that the grass is not always greener on the other side...

???

Thus this is so totally Lutheran that someone should be knocking on a wooden door and nailing notices up, just like old Martin Luther himself once did.

Oh and just for comparison sake, this image used to be the masthead on High Mountain Ranch and we used it for a year on Meanwhile Back at the Ranch.  It was taken in Calgary Alberta Canada at the Rodeo.

Do you think we qualify as Lutheran?  Or should we have dropped our drawers? The survey is now open. Vote to your heart's content. Get us saved already.
