An idea struck me earlier this week- perhaps it would be fun to share a post for graduates, or soon to be graduates. Since I have a special connection with many in the graduating class from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota this year, my thoughts are going to be directed to them. But perhaps these would be appropriate to other graduates? If there is … Continue reading To the soon to be commenced…

I will allow her to introduce herself more below, but would like to add that I thought it would be a great post on this blog if she shared thoughts about her … Continue reading LVC and Love- A guest post by Tamara Siburg
A couple days ago I wrote some more about transitions. Out of that conversation and a request for input on what to write my next post about, my friend and soon to be pastor, Rebecca Sullivan asked me to “continue thinking about transitions and finding community.” So out of that request comes what follows. I think it also hearkens back to other community pondering posts … Continue reading Transitions and Community

I love a good conversation, don’t you? By this I mean a conversation which doesn’t have only one objective, and rather one in which you have freed yourself up to share what’s going on and to ask questions of another(s) in the conversation and see where those questions lead. Time really isn’t an issue, in fact in a good conversation you might even lose track … Continue reading The Beauty of Conversation
