It’s nearing mid-winter at 45 degrees and that means that it’s more night than day here. The sun doesn’t rise until almost 8am and by 4:30pm it’s dusky and sunset. Not as dramatic as at 35 degrees north, I suppose but still pretty dark.
It’s good to wait for the light to return. To wait for [...]
KU died on Thanksgiving Day. With her family around her. They were married in 1984. The same year we were. Her first boy was born in 87, then 90 and 94. She loved them all madly and that love kept her fighting the evil cancer as long as she did.

I was late leaving work this afternoon because TB came in and needed to talk about having to put her mother in a nursing home.
Phoned home from the road (I know! I shouldn’t be driving and talking on the phone at the same time!). No answer. No answer for the 25 minutes it took to [...]
While both of these decisions grieve my heart, I’m most worried about the membership decision. This flies directly in the face of the argument that says “We’ll welcome them into the church, just not the pulpit.”
You know that there are Lutheran pastors out there that, while maybe not officially denying membership, do their best to [...]
That’s what DS1 said this morning when I told him I was surprised that he didn’t have more of a reaction to the news about the divorce.
Wow.
I gave him a hug and agreed that it did seem like it happened a long time ago, but that it didn’t. I had been waiting and hoping for [...]
