GK: You're busy Sunday morning, got the Sunday Times to read, the TV talk shows, brunch with friends, and a 90-minute church service ---- there just isn't time. Unless you subscribe to Micro Life, creators of LOL, Lutherans On Line. (COMPUTER CLICKS. BEEP) Lutherans On Line is the sacred software that lets each person worship at his or her own pace. You go online (CLICKS) and you can click onto the worship icon (CLICK: (CHANT) Holy Holy Holy) and you can get the Scripture reading or you can skip that (FAST FORWARD) and skip the sermon ("My brothers and sisters, as Mark's Gospel makes so clear FAST FORWARD) and scroll to the end (FAST FORWARD SLOWS. "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen") ..... and you go to Confession of Sins (ELECT. VOICE: You have sinned!) and you click on forgiveness (DING) and you scroll past the announcements (RAPID CLICKS) and it's communion time. You just click on the wine icon (CLICK) and click on the wafer
(CLICK) and you get the benediction (ELECT VOICE: Go in peace.), and you're done. Four minutes. (ORGAN) Lutherans On Line. It's got everything but the hotdish.

FN: One-oh-one-one-oh-one-oh-oh-one-oh-one-one-one-oh-oh....
GK: That's the digital prayer. But the old analog prayer maybe works better----
FN: Please! help!!! (BOAT HORN CLOSER)
GK: Start with confession ----
FN: I know we haven't talked for awhile----
GK: A little praise----
FN: I know you can handle this one-
