Ah, gotcha. Have you considered watching services online?

Like it's not optimal, but better than not going IMO

Yeah I actually do that from time to time. Have any to recommend?

I'm Lutheran, so there are a few churches that record services I think are well done

I can send in a few

I’d be interested thanks.

Redeemer Fort Wayne uploads all of their services to YouTube, including Matins

That's where I'll be going in a few years

They have really good liturgy and are very conservative Lutherans and the primary "high church" for Concordia Fort Wayne Seminary.

LCMS if you are wondering the synod

And Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Detroit uploads some stuff to their website too. That's where I currently go. Very high church. Excellent theology. The pastor is a genius. He's taught a variety of classes at LCMS seminaries and is exceedingly well read.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll take a look and probably watch a service later this evening.

Fort Wayne Indiana I presume
My mother was born there

Yeah

I haven't been outside in the inner city but I like the outskirts

I've never been

But there are only 3 LCMS seminaries and one is in Canada, so there are really only 2 I'd go to

And Fort Wayne is the "higher church" one of the two

I hate how foxes sound like young children being attacked.

It's the last thing I want to hear at 2am.

Try hearing a cat fight under your bed at 2am before work

Sounds like sheet metal being dropped

I would rather that than thinking some poor child is being disembowelled in my own back garden.

It's mating season, so they're out in full force.

It was terrifying a few years back. I was home alone and only fourteen years old. It was the first time I had heard such a noise.

Please pray that I am reconciled with an old friend.

We fell out last summer, and every time we've tried to reconcile, it hasn't quite worked out.

I would argue he's being overly stubborn, and I'm sure he would say the same about me.

Ah, often the case.

What did you fall out over? if it's the important stuff, don't compromise.

Nothing remotely important, which is why this whole fiasco is so frustrating.

Mhm mhm.

Well, you as a fellow oratorian should know full well about humility. Be the one to extend the olive branch. I'll be praying for you.

Lev. 19 is porhabs my least favorite chapter in the Bible

Sirach 9 is my favorite
