Aanother Round of Aardvark Honors
As noted at the unveiling of the Golden Aardvark Aaward, the Aardie is awarded for "Raillery, Doctrine, or Intellect in Exposition." IM(not-so)HO, the following bloggers definitely meet my completely arbitrary criteria and are thus duly honored, awarded, and singled out for your reading pleasure.
Winners may claim, copy, download, upload, link, and gloat as they so choose, according to the award's charter.
‡ First of all, we cross the pond to The First British Lutheran Blog Ever, wherein Chris Williams opines, "This world" seldom is "actually mocking genuine Christianity." In They mock what they don't understand? Do they? he explains that many secular assaults are actually against parts of "Christendom" that aren't all that Christian.
‡ Hot Under the Collar provides good Lutheran perspective on religion in the public schools in Removers vs. Restorers.
‡ In Lord of the Vocations: Part I, Kelly Klages of Kelly's Blog examines J. R. R. Tolkien's understanding of a woman's vocation and contrasts it with that shown in the film trilogy and exhibited in modern society.
‡ In case you haven't noticed poor Ryan at Wretched of the Earth — he's stuck in Thailand without his favorite sports and must live on memories and imaginings.
‡ The Hot Lutheran on Lutheran Action I salute involves the post Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi ... Experience Theology?, wherein Sean strikes up his personal praise band for the historic Liturgy and its intertwined relationship of doctrine and practice.
‡ In a related article, St. James the Hoosier discusses the difficulty of drawing any exact lines of demarcation in the LCMS regarding what is or isn't Lutheran in worship practice as he asks, Who Are We? Make sure to read the comments and follow the links to see from whence the comments proceed.
‡ As we IM or otherwise chat on the internet, we "LOL" all too often, even if the comment actually only provokes a modest grin. However, when I read The Pastor-Organist Tension by Pastor Petersen at CyberStones, I truly did LOL. I went back today and discovered fresh comments, which only added to my chuckles.
‡ Finally, although they're both a bit young for the appellation, I've bestowed a sort of "Lifetime Aachievement Aaward" upon Random Dan and Intolerant Elle. Thus, they receive a brace of Aardies for the work they put in on the Lutheran Carnival. Without them, the Carnival never would have seen the light of day. Without their continued involvement, it would have already died a slow, painful death.
That's it for this time. Congratulations to all the winners. ¶ 20:29 |

Thanks for the golden aardie. I assume my schedule will now be filled with ribbon cuttings and receiving keys to cities and kissing babies and blog signings, etc.
Thank you, I'm honored. What can I say other than "I'd like to thank the Aacademy..."?
