Church? What’s church?

Okay, okay, okay – I really, REALLY, planned on going to church today. Really. I woke up early, showered, fed the animals, blogged, read the NY Times, and everything. I was ready to go. But it seems Oliver had other ideas. He fussed. He wanted to be fed a million times. He wanted to be walked, held by mom, held by dad, and then sat in the Rock ‘n Play and stared at the window. He wanted it all.

But he didn’t want to help us get out of the house on time.

Instead, we went to my old neighborhood, ten blocks north, and tried a place for brunch. And while there, I decided to be a little churchy and worked on my sermon for next week. You can keep the seminarianzilla out of church but you can’t keep the church (and delicious maple-covered pancakes) out of the seminarianzilla.

There are only four Lutherans in the DC/Marvel universes?

What the. Considering how many comic book loving Lutherans I know, you would think that there would be more than four of us but I guess not. I’m slightly disappointed. I would think that our tradition of having religious wars in the name of the faith would inspire at least a few superhero lutherans. And don’t get me started on the fact that there isn’t a Lutheran in the regular Marvel Universe, only in the NU verse. Come on! Though I don’t mind that Jimmy Olsen, Superman’s friend, is Luthearn. With a name like Olsen, he kind of had to be.

Though I’m curious about The Little Mermaid. She first appeared in 1977, was killed off-page by 1991, shows up as a supposed evil twin in 1993, and vanishes after that. She was also a Lutheran-Atlantean combination. I want to know how that works.
