Good morning: It was in the middle of our last building expansion effort here at church, and we were stuck. We were faced with a building code rule that didn’t make sense for the size and layout of the church building. The inspector, however, didn’t have the authority to change the law and so we…
Good morning: After not being able to gather around Word and Sacrament for a couple of months, I think we all have greater appreciation for David’s words in Ps. 122: “I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD!’” (Ps. 122:1). Taking into account recommendations of our…
Good morning, Does it seem as though during the past couple of months there are more things that we can’t do than things we’re allowed to do? For weeks parks which normally are always open were closed. Have you thought how nice it would be to dine out only to drive by the restaurant and…
Good morning: Do you ever get the feeling that people are “just making things up as they go along”? Have you ever done it? You don’t really know what lies ahead or have a plan in mind. A new graduate might not have any idea of what they want to do next, and so they…

Of course, it becomes much more personal when it involves people who are close to us. This past week our fellow believer…

Good morning, Have you noticed how even good news usually comes with some kind of disclaimer? The TV meteorologist forecasts a sunny, picture-perfect spring day and then adds, “But rain is on the way for tomorrow.” The Sunday paper advertises an incredible store discount, but follows it by “certain exclusions apply.” The nightly news reports…
Good morning: There is tension in the air. No doubt you’ve felt it. It’s there even in the most ordinary situations. I could see and feel it in the grocery store yesterday. In the busy aisles shoppers were polite and friendly, but at the same time, everyone kept the proper social distance and I could…
