About the Blog

In this season of plague, flood, fire, hungry cats, and Advent, we invite you to reflect on the words (such clever words!) of the Prophet John in the book of Revelation.
Join the Liturgisaur on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Advent for devotions based on the first three chapters of Revelation.

Perhaps you have encountered the #Liturgisaur on Instagram or Facebook. He is a small, green, pants wearing, one armed dinosaur who makes the rounds in Gladwin County and beyond, highlighting the various ministries of Christ the King Lutheran Church.
The word dinosaur is Greek in origin, a combination of the words δεινός (terrible or clever) and σαύρα (lizard). You may have heard about how dinosaur means "terrible lizard," but you probably didn't realize that it can also mean "terribly clever lizard." And the Litrugisaur is quite clever.
This Advent you invited to check into this blog for theological reflections (some clever) and insights from the Liturgisaur and his minder, Pastor Emily Olsen. We will be focusing on the first few chapters of Revelation, or as they call it in Greek, The Apocalypse.
