I'm a Lutheran pastor currently serving in suburban Minneapolis at a large congregation. Before that I served three small churches in rural South Dakota. Prior to becoming a pastor, I did time in the insurance industry, and was a missionary in Japan for three years. I am also wife to J., a classical guitarist and church musician, step-mom to two grown up sons, and adoptive mom to mixed breed golden retriever Scout(our problem child). I'm thinking about a separate blog called "what the dog did."
For God's anger is but for a moment; God's favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning. --Psalm 30:5
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. --Galatians 2:19-20a
Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. --Proverbs 25:25
To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. --Elbert Hubbard
If you know exactly what you are going to do, what's the point of doing it? -- Pablo PIcasso
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start. Theories as to how it did this are another matter. A good many theories have been held as to how it works; what all Christians agree on is that it does work. --C.S. Lewis
There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun. --Thomas Merton
We do not think ourselves into new ways of living. We live ourselves into new ways of thinking. --Richard Rohr
"I love the recklessness of faith. First you leap, and then you grow wings." --William Sloane Coffin
