Sixth Sunday of Easter 2020, Peace Lutheran Church, Otis Orchards, WA





To love as Christ loves is to practice social distancing so that we do no harm to our neighbor.

To love as Christ loves is to bear one another’s burdens so that we can lessen the economic burdens caused by this pandemic.

And to love as Christ loves is to do willingly without compulsion, that which benefits our neighbor.

That’s my prayer.

That somehow in the face of all our divisions love might prevail.  And that through love we might be united not only as people of faith but as a nation as a whole.

Fifth Sunday in Easter service, Peace Lutheran Church, Otis Orchards, WA



Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Fourth Sunday in Easter 2020, Peace Lutheran Church, Otis Orchards, WA



There is one truth that endures throughout the ages and that is this.
In every time and every place there will be both the good and the bad. 
Life is like a patchwork quilt with shades of light and dark all intricately woven together.
And there is another truth.  Whether we are experiencing life as a blessing or a curse, God is with us.
