Memory Lane!

      St. James Lutheran, Crystal, MN., celebrated it's 70th anniversary today. It was special to be invited back. St. James was my call from 1988 until 2007, when I retired. All was forgiven, my foibles forgotten, or at least overlooked, and it was wonderful to connect with so many saints. Fortunately, the names came back and it's always nice to be appreciated.

Takk for alt,

This file photo of St. James was likely taken during Advent, given the blue banner behind the cross.

I didn’t take a picture yesterday; today I feel a missed opportunity. Thank you for your presence yesterday. It was a great day. 😊👏🏻❤️. Your addition of an eighth deadly sin was extremely appropriate! 👏🏻

Thanks for coming back to St James for the Anniversary. I have a “bit of a hangover” from the beautiful butterflies, the beautiful music, your sermon, all the hugs! Etc. I loved it! Haven’t seen a Monarch in my flowers, along the Mississippi River, etc. Sad!
