When we lose someone we love, we experience deep inner pain. A favorite seminary professor of mine describes this type of loss as having a hole in the soul. No matter how well we work through our grief, no matter how long it has been since the loss of a loved one, the hole in [...]
“Smile every chance you get.” That is what a good friend of mine likes to say as he bids folks farewell. He says it to just about everyone he comes in contact with, and he certainly practices what he preaches. Whether it is the parking lot attendant, a building custodian, or even those he meets [...]
Yesterday there was an elderly woman at church who was speaking to me about watching out for God’s little gifts in life. Some of the things that she mentioned were so basic.

So the new hymnal is finally here. The new book entitled Evangelical Lutheran Worship has certainly made a splash as far as conversations go. This particular book has caused quite a stir to be sure, and the debate promises to continue for some time. But is this so different than any other time when the [...]
