My pastor, the pastor of all pastors, Pastor Doug, works out in my gym. I see him there often and last week I had a chance to talk to him for quite a long time. I shyly mentioned my penchant for murmuring hymns during the week. I mentioned that it often made people uncomfortable, one nameless individual saying recently, "Laura! Stop that! I just swore!"

Pastor Doug laughed shockingly loud, clearly amused, and exclaimed, "And, did you tell them, 'That's ok! I don't care! I'm Lutheran!'!?"
