Lord, Remember Me

By Rev. John Koopman, Pastor of Peace Lutheran in West Bend

Luke 23:43: And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

I’m not writing about pneumonia again. I promise.

Okay, here’s what I’m not going to write about today:

Pneumonia. I won’t bore you with the fact that it came back for an encore just one week after its first engagement. I won’t write about that because reading about other people’s illnesses is about as fascinating as reading about - oh, I don’t know - your cousin’s neighbor’s hangnail. Besides, I wrote all about my first round a few weeks ago.
