After a week in this heart-home, my husband and I just left Regensburg, Germany.

The state of American politics is in quite a state these days, isn’t it.

“How is the Holy Spirit found in everyday life?”

Dear readers,

Dear all,

The Spirit is a tough one for many of us (northern European) Protestants to wrap our minds around..or to be wrapped around by, frankly (pardon the dangling prepositions).

So in my last blog, I revealed my first tattoo.

Standing in my jammies in the living room, cupping my coffee in front of the new fire, warming my chilly bones early on a sub-zero Minnesota New Year’s Day morning, I mulled, yet again, why I haven’t written or posted much on social media for such a long time.

Luke 19:37-38 “As [Jesus] was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!’”
Luke 23:21-23 “…[the crowds] kept shouting, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’…[and] they kept urgently demanding with loud shouts that he should be crucified…”
Luke 22:33 “And Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death!”
Luke 22:57 “Peter denied it, saying ‘Woman, I do not know him.”
Luke 22:58 Peter cried, “Man, I am not one of them!”
Luke 22:60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!”

Here’s a really beautiful something that Martin Luther never ever said, even though on Earth Day, shared especially by well-intentioned Lutherans, a person can’t avoid seeing on social media.

So, Donald Trump will be inaugurated on Friday as our next president.

If you know nothing else about Martin Luther, you know that he didn’t like indulgences.

Tuesday, post Holy Week.

Today, Economic Justice is the OMG topic du jour.

So in the wake of Newtown, tsunami waves of debate around gun control have already flooded our national conversations.
