Golden rays on rainy days

Pastoral Messages | October 12, 2023

Nearly every year since I’ve been on staff at St. Paul, the annual Golden Agers event, a worship celebration for members of the congregation 75 years and older, has seen rain clouds. This year, the rain held off until nearly every guest had left. But…

Finding the words

Pastoral Messages | October 5, 2023

  On my shelf I have a fascinating book with the title, Descriptionary. I’ve come to appreciate it more and more as I’ve grown older, since it’s designed to help people find things for which they can’t quite come up with the word. If I can’t rem…

Pumpkin spice

Pastoral Messages | September 28, 2023

I walked into a boutique store the other day – the kind that sells things I’m pretty sure I don’t need, but that make for pleasant gifts. Fancily wrapped soaps. Scented candles. Dried flower arrangements. You know the kind of place. Men don’t hang ou…

Each time I drive home from church, my path takes me past Brady Street Stadium. Nearly every day, there’s one school practicing and another playing a game. On evenings when I get home late, I’m treated to the Friday night lights as everyone enjoys th…

Pastoral Messages | September 14, 2023

Finding the time

Pastoral Messages | August 31, 2023

I lost my watch this summer. I had just arrived at a Benedictine monastery in Minnesota, where I planned to write as much as I could. At first, I was worried that without my watch I’d miss when they were serving meals and the times of daily prayer. B…

New chapters of life

Pastoral Messages | August 24, 2023

The transition from summer to the start of the school year brings with it a sense of newness. After a summer of relaxation, work, travel, or a mix of both, most parents are eagerly awaiting the change of pace and excited for the kids to start back to…

Today’s forecast

Pastoral Messages | August 17, 2023

Mornings have a pretty predictable routine for me these days. I wake up with our 4-month-old and enjoy a few quiet moments together before her older brother starts to stir. While she enjoys a bottle, I turn the news on in the background. I move betwe…

Foundations of faith
