You may be a lutheran if:
-when someone mentions red and green (in terms of Christmas), you immediately think of a battle over hymnals.
-a midlife crisis means switching from the old hymnbook to a new one.
-the pastor skips the last hymn to make sure church lasts exactly 60 minutes.
-you hear something really funny and smile as loud as you can.
-Bach is your favorite composer just because he was Lutheran, too.
-you know all the words to the first verse of "Silent Night" in German but can't speak a word of it.
-you sing "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus" while sitting down.
-you hesitate to clap for the church choir or special music because "it just wasn't done that way in the old days."
-you ask for "A mightly fortress" on the love song request line.
-you automatically sing 'amen' at the end of every song you sing.
-you wish MTV, VH1, and CMT had hymns
-the only open pew is up front, so you volunteer to shovel the sidewalk.
-you freeze the leftover coffee from fellowship hour for next week.
-you're watching "Star Wars" in the theatre and when they say, "may the force be with you," the theatre replies, "and also with you."
Or, for those preferring Potluck
-you only serve Jell-O in the proper liturgical color for the season.
-peas in your tuna noodle hotdish add too much color.
-you think butter is a spice.
-your five year-old recites the Old Testament books as Genisis, Exodus, and Lutefisk...
-you think the four food groups are coffee, lefse, lutefisk, and Jell-O.
-at Thanksgiving you server lutefisk and try to convince your kids it's really a turkey.
-you think tuna hotdish is a gourmet meal.
-potluck dinners are your favorite indoor sport.
Just some fun things for my fellow Lutherans, and every other person no matter what their belief may be!
