OK, I'm actually going to use my Twitter account, not that I'm expecting a bazillion followers. But if you'd like to do so, I'm at 'Maurice Frontz' on Twitter.
And here's my sermon from Sunday: http://www.ststephenpittsburgh.org/p/most-recent-sermons.html

NALC Responds to Super Typhoon Haiyan - How You Can Help
Super Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on the morning of November 8, causing massive destruction, with wind gusts up to 235 mph, nearly 16 inches of rainfall and waves up to 45 feet in some areas. Thousands are dead, and millions more have been affected by the storm.
How you can help
There are several ways you can help respond to the needs of the people of the Philippines.
First and foremost, PRAY for those affected and for all who are working to respond in the aftermath of the storm.
Second, send financial gifts directly to international relief organizations. Two organizations recommended by the NALC are Lutheran World Relief (LWR) and Water Missions International (WMI).
(To give, please follow the link below and click on the appropriate links to LWR or WMI.)

Reformation Day Sermon - October 27, 2013
'...the
central issues go to the heart of the Christian faith,
Or do we believe
another gospel?...'
the
faith for which the Reformers of the sixteenth century contended,
together
with all orthodox believers of our time and every time.
Was
the man Jesus God? Did he die for the forgiveness of our sins?
Was
he raised on the third day for our justification?
Did
the Father and the Son send the Spirit,
and
is that Spirit encountered in the Word, Baptism, and Communion?
Are
the words recorded in John reliable:
‘If
the Son has set you free, you will be free indeed?’
Do
we believe the gospel that set the apostle Paul free from the law
to
live in the grace and mercy of Jesus?
Do
we believe, with Jeremiah, that the new covenant is made with us by God,
when
he forgives our iniquity, and remembers our sin no more?
