But, I am feeling like my world is in the process of becoming really “topsy-turvey.” This isn’t a new experience for me, and probably its a normal part … Continue reading Spinning Round and Round

Last weekend I had the pleasure to join other family together in Appleton, Wisconsin to celebrate our cousin Britta as she affirmed her baptism and was confirmed.

Jeff serves First … Continue reading Easter, The Good Shepherd and Confirmation

This is not a church or congregation that I see or visit often, but have been there a few times in the past. For the most part, I was just trying to get some emails worked through and I was grateful for the church’s … Continue reading “I Can’t Help You” – What Should Never Be Heard at Church

I have found much of Julian’s thoughts, reflections and questions over the past couple of years thought provoking and helpful for my own thought. So, thank you Julian for last … Continue reading Social Leadership
Last week I shared some introductory thoughts on the topic of creation care and environmental stewardship on the COMPASS blog as part of their April series. What follows is a sample of that post. Psalm 24 begins, “The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.” (NRSV) This claim has great implications for our understanding … Continue reading Earth Day, Creation Care & Stewardship
