Sunday Musings

What happen to all the rain and the clouds we were supposed to have this weekend?

Jan and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary last night. We were married on Saturday, August 25, 1979 at 7:30 pm in Richfield, Minnesota. Jan's mom was very concerned about an August wedding in Minnesota but it ended up being a beautiful evening, matching the bride. The groom, on the other hand...

We didn't actually do much to celebrate yesterday so we'll have dinner at Carver's tonight.

It's been a good, refreshing summer (albeit hot) but I'm really ready to turn the corner and get back into the fall rhythm of life.

My brother Jeff was in a pretty serious car accident on Friday. Someone pulled out of traffic and ran into him, on the passenger side, totaling the car. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt although they put Jeff on a stretcher and took him by amubulance to the hospital just to be safe. He's pretty sore as you might imagine. Pretty freaky to see your brother lying on the stretcher, his head in a neck brace. Much worse for Diane and their kids.

As always, it was good to be with everyone for worship this morning. I've not preached on the Lord's Prayer for several years and I've really been enjoying it. I've been seeing it with a whole new filter this time around, looking at it more from the perspective of what the prayer says about God than what it says about how to pray.

My web-based weather icon says it's supposed to hit 113 on Wednesday and 111 on Thursday. Oi! Oi! Oi!
