Coming soon...to a blog near you

Dear Friends, For the next three weeks I will be at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota working through my third year of my doctorate program. So, I am going to shift gears and I will be blogging about what I am learning. I pray this will offer two blessings. One it is a great way for me to process and share with you. Second, it is a great ways for you to hear a bit about what I am learning and respond in the comments. Please, it really is okay to post a comment. Over the three weeks I will take three classes. June 4-8 is about preaching in a context. See my last post about our geography impacting our faith. June 11-15 is about parables...stories Jesus told that challenge us, even offend us, or stories that have a sideways message. June 18-22 is a week devoted to learning more about writing my dissertation. I will try to share with you twice each week or when the spirit moves me...and the wireless internet connection allows. I appreciate your prayers...may t
