Alex is coming (or been…)

Hurricane Alex hit in Northern Mexico this past week. This would have been my first hurricane since we moved to Texas, but we missed it while I was on vacation. However, the funny part to this is, Alex is coming is still true for us here in Victoria. Our new intern Alex will beContinue reading “Alex is coming (or been…)”

I have not gone far…

For those of you who might be wondering what happened to me, I went on a very nice vacation with my family. I have not been blogging, but I’m now back into the swing of things here in the office, and the blogging will start again, so look for at least one tomorrow…

Follow your kids all over the country

Interesting isn’t some of the things we do for our children. I am in Zionsville, IN for the USA Gymnastics for All Nationals because my oldest daughter is competing with a gymnastics team from our home town. I really thought nothing about packing my family in the van and driving 20 hours from home toContinue reading “Follow your kids all over the country”

Guardrails on a Mountain are nice…

Have you ever driven along a mountain road that had no guardrail? It can be really scary. And you ask yourself, “why are there no guardrails here?” What were this people thinking, someone is going to drive off the side of this mountain and kill themselves… Isn’t that just exactly how life is? We asContinue reading “Guardrails on a Mountain are nice…”

Soccer – The Melheimian Sabbatiblog

Soccer – The Melheimian Sabbatiblog. Where is your church at in Evangelism. My comment to Rich Melheim on his blog is here below. I wonder where you think we are at, or where you are at with your church in Evangelism… This is great! I believe unfortunately most Lutheran Congregations are like the Chinese diagramContinue reading “Soccer – The Melheimian Sabbatiblog”

No room in the Inn

We are in the midst of doing VBS at the congregation I serve. Yesterdays scripture passage was Luke 2:1-20, the birth of Jesus. Now this is a story most of us hear year after year, because those of us who go to churches that follow the Revised Common Lectionary use this set of verses every Christmas Eve.Continue reading “No room in the Inn”

Seth’s Blog – Trying to please…

http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/06/trying-to-please.html Check out Seth’s blog about pleasing and what or who we are trying to please. One of my collegues in Ohio said, “our business as the church is pleasing God.”. While I have mixed feelings about this statement, because I am a Lutheran and therefore think any works are bad and can not helpContinue reading “Seth’s Blog – Trying to please…”

Picture from June 6th worship

Here is a picture of me preaching, taken from the balcony of First English Lutheran Church on June 6th during the 10:30 worship service. And yes if you can get in close enough the box off to the left with the drooping sign on it is a casket… Maybe an audio recording will be comingContinue reading “Picture from June 6th worship”
