Look - Up in the Pulpit ...
It's a counselor, it's an adminstrator, it's SUPERPASTOR!
For all of you who have left me encouraging notes, sent me emails, and continued to leave various holiday greetings on my Thanksgiving post, thank you. I know that many of you who read this blog do not have a real-life connection to me, so here is the Cliff Notes update:
Everything is going well - fantastic even. In early December, the combination of cold season and the holiday season got me out of the habit of blogging regularly. I really do view this as a discipline - to give me an reason to keep my writing skills sharp and stay connected with others. And, like all disciplines, once I got out of the habit it was eay to stay away.
My beautiful daughter is doing very well - 5 1/2 months old now, and full of personality. At St John, things are going great. We have hired a very qualified part-time Director of Music and Worship (my beautiful wife, Julia) and are continuing strong in our mission and ministry.
Hopefully, I am now back to writing regularly (at least that is my intention). The Blogging Lutherans membership has also been updated, giving us now close to 150 members.

And I was looking forward to leaving a nice Easter greeting on your Thanksgiving post :D
Oh well, welcome back.
welcome back! the congregation i have been serving hired my husband as part time director of music and organist several years ago and he has discovered a vocation. it has been wonderful to be partners in ministry. hope, it is wonderful for you too.
and... i think you encouraged me along the way in my application process... have you heard the good news?
Thanks Art!
And no, MCTP, I have not heard the news - lay it on me (or, I'll just wander over your way when I get a chance).
So far (it has been a month), working together in ministry (in an official capacity) has been a wonderful experience. I will probably post on it at some point.
I was admitted to my first choice doctoral program and granted TWO fabulous fellowships- one for SIX YEARS. You'd have to scroll down a bit to get that news! Thanks for your support earlier.
Welcome back...it's good to "see" you again.
Welcome back. I figured you were "busier" going from two to three in the household. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
@ MCTP - Congratulations! What wonderful news. Wishing you nothing but the best as you set out on this journey.
@ Eric - thanks, its good to be back.
@ PS - Indeed, it has been quite the adjustment. But a joyful and wonderful one.
oh, glad you are back!
I really missed you!
