New 11/19: I know - it seems like an "easy update" (as in no original thought required), but I promise - just check out the updated links page. I have added and updated several folks here. These people are so good that I must ask you to first spend some time here at the Church of Good Luck before you even go to the links page, because I know once those browser windows start opening you'll be swept away.
New 11/8: The Church of Good Luck has been busy celebrating the 101st Birthday of Billiken as well as the 1st Anniversary of the Church of Good Luck. Thanks to all of you who have made the leap of faith and become members. Thanks also to our faithful website readers and to those who have requested prayers, absolution and more. We hope to provide many more years of service dedicated to improving Luck. As a special treat, we are pround to announce our first ever contest:
The Guest Sermon (or Essay) Contest. Complete rules are here. The Grand prize is a genuine original Billiken complete with Billiken Throne! Members, friends, and of course, visiting clergy, are encouraged to enter!
