Serious support-raising mania has begun. Tonight I really needed a diversion from it, so I came up with the following based upon my own wonderful heritage:
You know you're Lutheran if…
1. … you celebrate both your natural birthday and your baptismal birthday.
2. … the only things the woman of the household can make are Jell-O, casseroles, bratwurst, or lutefisk.
3. … you own Lederhosen.
4. … you've got your Bible in one hand and a beer in the other.
5. … your children are named Martin, Philip, and Katherine.
6. … you believe the real problem with the local courthouse is not that there isn't a monument to the Ten Commandments, but that there isn't an equally prominent monument to the Gospel on the other end of the building.
7. … you end all of your stories with "This is most certainly true."
8. … you receive roses from your boyfriend/husband but complain that they're not white with red hearts in the center.
9. … you live in
10. … you know what the words Bier, Scheisse, and Schnitzelbank mean.
11. … instead of trick-or-treating on October 31, you nail complaints against your neighbor onto his front door.
Sola gratia. Sola fide. Sola Scriptura.
