Viennese Ball

From 1997--my house in Eau Claire





When I was a student at UWEC, Paul and I went to the Viennese Ball my senior year.  It's a huge fundraiser for the fine arts programs at the school; it draws over 2,000 people.  It was a lot of fun, so we always said we wanted to go again but never got around to getting tickets.  This year, UWEC opened their new student center, so it was enough motivation to get tickets so we could check out the new building.












From 2013--at the event


Things that have changed over the last 17 years:

1. I wear shoes for comfort, not style. 
2. We don't fret about spending a little extra money on food and drink.
3. I appreciate good music a whole lot more.
4. My hair turned darker after each child.
5. Paul leads when dance now, most of the time anyway.  It just works better this way.
6. We get tired an hour earlier. 
7. We call college students "kids."
8. It takes a third adult--an aunt or grandparent babysitting--in order for us to feel okay about having fun. (Thanks, Kate.)
9. iphones improve your ability to take easy pictures.
10. Love can grow both wider and deeper.

Kids in spring!

Faith missed her piano recital because her Girl Scout troop went to Mary Poppins in Minneapolis, but we recorded her song.  This is just a sample.  Samuel had a great spring concert.  He alone played the bass line for kids who "improv'd" on a song.  Can't seem to get a video up, but here's a pic of him hiding behind a music stand, blowing away.  Emilee turned 8!  A pic from her party.

Was Jesus Polarizing?

Was Jesus a polarizing figure? My church will do a worship series on polarization during Lent.   Wish us luck!   People are already asking me, “Are you really going to ask me to interact with others whose views are so off course that they would become violent?”   That response is incredibly telling of the dynamics at play within our society—that people automatically go to the extreme without seeing the rest.   The goal of this series is to investigate whether the life of Jesus teaches us anything about polarization. I’ve been doing some scriptural research.   And I got to tell you: it’s been a tough day.   You know when you are reading a novel and you prescribe a personality, tone of voice, and temperament to a character?   It’s almost like you can hear their voice in your head as you are reading dialogue.   The author of the story, of course, plants all the seeds through their character development, but ultimately the reader’s own lens gives the character life.   (This is why p

PRIDE week communion

It's PRIDE month.  For the last three years, June has been a really strange time in ministry for me.  People often refer friends, relatives, and colleagues to talk through issues around identity and gender diversity.  I get calls from people dissatisfied with their own church's stance who are trying to figure out steps to allyship.  I get calls from parents trying to do the right things.  But the most holy calls I get are from people from the LGBTQIA community, folks looking for hope after church rejection, spiritual trauma, and family rejection.   These folks are brave:  brave to recount the pain, brave to dare to accept themselves, brave to let themselves sense a glimmer of healing grace.  Their stories are sacred, and I feel nothing but gratitude that I'm let into this sacredness.   Recently I was asked by a group to provide a two-minute speech about the power of story-telling during a time of holy conferencing (the nice version of debate) at the gathering of Minnesota U
