Happy Easter!

Today I'm recovering from a very busy Lent and Easter at Holy Name. It seems like this season is so busy that after it is all over I can only feel a sense of relief. However, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy celebrating with the whole church that Jesus Christ is indeed risen.

Each year as we progress through the Liturgical cycle we are called to draw ourselves deeper into the mystery of Christ's passion, death and resurrection. What an awesome privilege to know that God loves us so much that he was willing to die so that we might be free and able to live with Him for eternity.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Well, seeing that I have not been very active on the blogosphere in the last couple of months I suppose that I owe an explaination to everyone. It has been a chaotic time. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to take the time to write. Family and work have taken priority as they should in that order. Nevertheless, I hope to be more active in the coming year.

I hope that everyone has a blessed Christmas season and a Happy New Year.

If you are going to be in the Spokane area over the holiday come and see me at the Central Lutheran Church at 4:00 o'clock p.m. on January 4. I will be doing a concert of praise and worship music. We are only asking for donations so please bring a friend or two.

Prayers for Texas

As a Floridian I understand in a profound way the power and destruction caused by hurricanes. It looks like Galveston could use some prayers. Hurricane Ike was very powerful and caused much damage to Texas. We should also remember that Haiti and Cuba also suffered terrible damage and loss of life from this storm. This season appears to be an active one so let's pray for all of us who live in hurricane alley.

Father, we pray for all those who have been impacted by Hurricane Ike. We remember especially those who live in areas where buildings and infrastructure were not built to withstand these kinds of forces. We mourn the loss of life and we pray for a swift recovery of the survivors. May we place our trust in you and know that is by your power that we can live in freedom from fear and anxiety. Help us to realize that you are with us even through the most dangerous of storms.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
