Holy Ground… and a pretty awesome space too!
Can I just say that the newly renovated basement is probably one of the most amazing things ever?!? Well, I’m going too: “The newly renovated basement is one of the most amazing things ever! 🙂 Tonight, at Crossroads CONNECT (our weekly Thursday night program for High School students) one of the students, about an… Continue reading Holy Ground… and a pretty awesome space too!
An Overflow of Blessings
Too many to count today, but I’ll try anyway: Awaking to the sound of birds and all things spring. Pausing “just a few more seconds” in God’s Presence before rushing off to get ready for the day. An old dress that I haven’t worn in a long time…. so it felt like a new dress.… Continue reading An Overflow of Blessings
I Believe
Below are the lyrics for the song “I Believe” written by the First Trinity Youth Band and some of the 8th grade confirmands to celebrate today.

5-minute Friday – On Distance
This morning through a blog I regularly read, I discovered something another blogger does called Five Minute Friday. She dares readers and fellow writers to “just write and not worry if it’s just right or not.” Today, I took up the challenge… to write for five minutes, without really thinking about whether it was “right”… Continue reading 5-minute Friday – On Distance
But What If I end Up Some Place Like New York?!?!?
I didn’t want to clutter the other post from today with this story, but it is, as my staffmates would say “hi-larious” and just one of those things that confirms in my mind that God truly does have a sense of humor: So during my last semester at Concordia I was trying to make… Continue reading But What If I end Up Some Place Like New York?!?!?
