Pastoral Meanderings: A warning to my readers. . .

A warning to my readers. . .

Once again I attended the Symposia week at Concordia Theological Seminary. Amid renewed friendships with old friends and refreshed by acquaintances with new friends, I find myself encouraged, uplifted, and more hopeful than ever for the good ship Missouri... So, give me a few days to sort things out and I will begin posting some of the choicer fruits of the harvest. . .

God bless the good folks at CTS and all those who put this together... would that we all could attend and find ourselves challenged, engaged, and inspired by some of the brighter minds of the church today. There is still room. Budget it in for 2014 and make a plan to be in the loveliest spot anyone could hope to enjoy in January!

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
