More copies of Creation Gardening books are arriving. I expect to send Goldmine to the finishing editor by Sunday. She used to live in Apache Junction where the Lost Dutchman's Goldmine can be found - or so a certain number of people hope.

| Mrs. Ichabod and I just watched this movie on TCM. The lesson is clear - gold fever leads to death. |
The Lutherans sects in America provide many good reasons why they should be dismantled.
They too have a lust for gold that is never satiated. The LCMS-WELS-ELS got their own goldmine when Marvin Schwan died, and they knew why he turned most of his fortune over to their greedy hands - guilt. Did the oily Planned Giving Counselors discourage him from paying for his sins with enormous grants to their seminaries and colleges? No. If anything, they fanned the infernal flames of his obsessed life. He was a genius at messing up lives, so they ignored that and venerated his money.
One WELS Iago spent his life talking about money, retired, and died faster than a Rosie O'Donnell romance movie.
A WELS program was called "God's Treasures - And Yours." I am sure the emphasis was on "Yours." Since WELS and the Little Sect and Missouri are famous for ignoring Luther, they would never guess that treasure in the Book of Concord refers only to the Atonement.

| The point of the book is that Luther left a legacy of Gospel treasures, but today Lutheran leaders only mine the fool's gold of Halle Pietism and Fuller Seminary hucksterism. They celebrate the 500th with dog collars and an Emmaus Conference about themselves - not Luther. |
