Looks like I've been lazy. Last post to this blog was over a year ago. I can't help it. Combine the fact that I'm actually shy with a deep and abiding gift for procrastination, and you get this--a blog that says so little. More like a 'blah-g' than a blog.
Well, I'm out to change that. Call it a new leaf. People in my personal life, and in my work as a Lutheran pastor, are awash in information and the cacophony of our strident society. It seems we think that people aren't real people today if they don't hold in contempt some political or ideological opponent. I get the feeling that we are as proud of having enemies as we are of our own righteous positions. I struggle daily to find my own balance in the political winds of change that have swirled over us in the last few months. And it looks like it will only get better, or worse, depending on how you see it.
So for the sake of those humble souls who will join me in trying to look at the world through the lens of a progressive Lutheran theology, I offer these musings--a little theology, a little Bible study, a little culture commentary, a little comparative religion. There, I've told you my bias. Take it at face value and see if it is helpful. And when my thoughts are not, God's grace is sufficient, as the good book says.
Prayer for the day-
God, you enlighten the darkness with the true Light. Help us walk in the light of Christ, and at the last, awaken to the brightness of his glory. Amen.
