The administration of WORD and sacraments is meant to be carried out by the called and ordained men in the pastoral office. The deaconess ministry is a ministry of mercy which supplements the pastoral ministry of Word and Sacrament.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124481618012605187.post-35562331801523758992009-06-17T16:36:47.669-05:002009-06-17T16:36:47.669-05:00You were blessed with a wonderful, involved father...You were blessed with a wonderful, involved father!Melanie Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14676875049068040390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124481618012605187.post-66922220415980471512009-06-09T13:20:47.031-05:002009-06-09T13:20:47.031-05:00Fantastic post - thank you.

As a pastor, I "get to" visit jail every now and then --- and the experience is usually similar to yours.<br /><br />The sad thing that I've noticed in going to jail is that often the people who are visiting the incarcerated are just as much in need of the healing Word of God - they just aren't made a priority.<br /><br />Thanks for pointing out that everyone in that situation needs love from Christ and His Christians.<br /><br />in Christ,<br />jWjWintershttp://jwinters.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124481618012605187.post-47862674966765833622009-06-01T09:14:23.191-05:002009-06-01T09:14:23.191-05:00Thanks, Phyllis, for sharing your experience with ...Thanks, Phyllis, for sharing your experience with us! I've never visited anyone in jail and found your experience to be enlightening and encouraging. It may not end up being what you thought you were being called on to do, but it can be what God could use you to do that day. In addition, it could be preparation for what you might be called on to do at another time. I loved that you acted upon your prompting and were so encouraging to the children. You even were able to give them the idea that they could play the game with their father. Playing a game with their dad could make for good memories for their tomorrows. Your prayers for them then and now are,are the help that we can all give to each other, as well as the monetary and encouraging help. Thanks again.God's blessings to you always.

Am still praying for your<BR/>youngest...<BR/>Something to consider--I've always thought of thanksgiving going with supplication rather than with confession. I've thought that confession goes with adoration (praise). I say this because when we ask God for release from a sweet tooth and He gives it, then we thank. (Supplication-thanksgiving) When we get down to the really awful business of<BR/>confession--like confessing judgment of a husband or something equally noxious, shame over not living up to what we thought in pride, that we'd never do--then God's amazing mercy to blot out our iniquities comes to play and we<BR/>fall down in astonished adoration. (I'm thinking ACTS prayer language here) Anyway, I believe that my praise muscles aren't really up to the quality of many of the saints of old because we Lutherans don't practice regular examination/confession like our Catholic siblings. I wish I could feel God's pain over my besetting sins, don't you... Anyway, enjoying your e-newsletter.<BR/><BR/>Julaine KammrathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124481618012605187.post-11262084675908419822008-10-08T08:51:00.000-05:002008-10-08T08:51:00.000-05:00Dear Phyllis, My Mother was quite unhealthy and di...Dear Phyllis, <BR/><BR/>My Mother was quite unhealthy and died at 57 years of age before she could share being a Grandmother to my kids.<BR/><BR/>I have had the privilege of sharing many years as best friend to my daughters and "growing up" with my grandchildren.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, when I am with them and we are sharing a trip like going to England and France with my granddaughter, <BR/>Laura Carter several years ago and to France this past February with my daughter Barb and my granddaughter, Jacque <BR/>Erks.
