Today we joyously celebrate the Affirmation of Baptism of LC#2 and 10 others. The youth lead both of the services in all aspects except for presiding. She will be playing her trombone for A Mighty Fortress as the gospel acclamation, and leading the congregation in the confession and forgiveness. Afterwards a party at our house with all of the family and the church staff and pastors. And a moment of bittersweet-ness: fourteen years ago on All Saint's Sunday was her baptism. An acknowledgement we are another step closer to adulthood. And yet how exhilirating to see where our Chicks are headed, and what a blessing they are. Oh, and by the way, in the thrill of all of this is the news that I am "enthsiastically recommended" for endorsement in my candidacy process- plenty to celebrate and for which to make a joyful noise unto the Lord- Enjoy this rendition of the "Fortress" by GLAD.
About Me
- Law+Gospel
- I'm a proud 2011 graduate of Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg and the Pastor of Christ Lutheran Church continuing the journey that God has planned. This is where I somewhat regularly contemplate the intersection of faith and the real world, and the tension between law and the Gospel. I am blessed with a wonderful husband, two Lutheran Chicks and Toby, our beagle/pointer mix! And now for the legal lingo:Views expressed here are mine alone, and do not represent the ELCA, LTSG, or any ministry context in which I serve or to which I belong. The names in my stories have been changed to protect the innocent, as have key facts. If the story sounds familiar perhaps it is because life experiences can be universal.

Even in the midst of your sorrow at losing a friend, there is much to rejoice in. Thanks be to God. It's no surprise to me that you were "enthusiastically recommended" for endorsement. Have a great day and enjoy your nearly adult children.
Congrats on your endorsement!
