2nd Sunday of Advent services at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster www.gracelc.org


2nd Sunday of Advent services at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster www.gracelc.org Dec. 4, 2016 

John the Baptist's job was to prepare the way for Jesus. The gospel lesson for this Sunday comes from Matthew 3:1-12. 

Christmas is about Jesus. Remember this should you get lost in the hecticness of the season and lose sight of this. Jesus is the reason for the season.

We are mindful of the raging fires in Tennessee. The devastation of the fires calls to our attention what is really important to us. If we had to flee the fire, what would we really want to take with us?

Remember Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

Douglas Edward Menchey
September 13, 1953 ~ November 24, 2016 (age 63)

Douglas Edward Menchey, 63, resident of Hampstead, Maryland, died in the early morning hours of Thursday, November 24, 2016 at the Carroll Hospice Dove House from complications from cancer.

He especially enjoyed time with his children and grandchildren; joking around with the guys in the shop; sharing good times with friends; and spending time in his favorite chair with all his kitties. He loved his diet coke, Yuengling beer, ice cream, lifesavers, and the movie Blazing Saddles. Doug was a good dad, friend, and mentor and will be dearly missed by all.

Surviving in addition to his mother and significant other are sons, Bryan Menchey of Manchester, Dan Menchey and wife Nicole of Kennedyville, and Justin Menchey of Hampstead; grandchildren, Brady, Daniel and Debra Menchey; sisters, Deborah Bean and husband James of Westminster and Dorothy Diehl of Hanover, PA; nephews, Randy Diehl, Jimmy Bean, and Bradley Diehl; former spouse, Carol Menchey of Dundalk; and furry feline “Radar”.

Found this well deserved shout out to recognize the great work of the Westminster Police

Found this well deserved shout out to recognize the great work of the Westminster Police Dept.

Every week I hear great stories about the work of the local public safety agencies; the Westminster Police, and the local Manchester, Taneytown, and Sykesville police departments, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, the Md State Police, the Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. and all the local volunteer fire departments.

We are very fortunate to work with such great men and women in Carroll County. We should not take them for granted.

It is a fascinating store that manufactures and sell woodworking products; much of which is of a patriotic, agricultural, arts and crafty, and religious theme.

The customers are predominantly Mennonite and some Amish - complete with horse and buggies outside. Another great bonus is that the clientele actually dresses appropriately to be out in public. And folks are respectful and polite. Just saying.

It is a really neat store. Almost like an art gallery... Perfect place to visit for someone who maintained his woodworking workshop and radial arm saw in the living room for fifteen years.

Say no to Black Friday - a new kind of obedience

Say no to Black Friday - a new kind of obedience

Black Friday is nuts. I will not be shopping on Black Friday or Shabby Saturday. If we refused to go out and shop, then corporate America would not force employees to work under such horrid circumstances.

If you have to go out tomorrow - treat the retail workers especially well and tip the restaurant servers extra and be sure to say "Thank you."

Nov. 24, 2016

A New Kind of Obedience

"Like many, I try to reconcile myself to these daily humiliations through militancy over pressing issues.  But that always seems like just another diversion from the emptiness of it all.  Is it our pursuit of happiness through conspicuous consumption that is at stake? 

"Is happiness a value that we can find within ourselves or must we try to purchase or acquire it?   In this pursuit of happiness, what if it is really me, my soul, and the very essence of my existence that is at stake?" (1.)

"Life has a value only when it has something valuable as its object".
HEGEL, Introduction to Philosophy of History (1852)

"Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve."  ERICH FROMM, Man for Himself, (1947)

 (1.) Captured from a source that I cannot put my fingers on at the moment. If this is your image and your words - please let me know so that I may credit you. Thanks.

Yesterday we picked-up our Thanksgiving turkey. Wed. Nov. 23, 2016

Yesterday we picked-up our Thanksgiving turkey. Too funny - it says that it was "vegetarian fed." I, for one, am glad that we did not purchase a predator carnivorous  blood-thirsty killer turkey.

It also says that it was a "free-range" turkey. Whenever I think of free-range chickens and turkeys, I think of the June 19, 1967 classic movie, "King of Hearts."

According to one media source, "This quirky comedic war film focuses on Scottish soldier Charles Plumpick (Alan Bates), who is sent to a French town on a mission to disarm a bomb left behind by the retreating German army. Plumpick discovers that the area is deserted except for the inmates of the local asylum.

The mental patients playfully take over the town and pronounce the soldier their king. While Plumpick is intrigued by the antics of the former inmates, he must stay on task and find the bomb before it detonates..."
