All About Me

Thursday I try to share with you a bit of who I am. You can ask questions which will be answered in a future entry. A few weeks ago I was asked about the events leading to my becoming a pastor. I blogged on that last summer so I pulled all fourteen of those blogs together and you can read them all or any of them by clicking on "Road to ministry" on the left hand side.

Well here is a new twist on sneaking details out of a blogger… from Kat's Random Thoughts
INSTRUCTIONS: Remove the blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone up one place. Then add your blog to the bottom slot, like so:

1. Last Minute Lyn
2. melsdream
3. wading through my stream of consciousness
4. kat’s random thoughts
5.Dr. John’s Fortress

Okay, the rest of the rules are to tag five people, and I have a personal policy not to tag anyone.
So use it if you want to..

@@@@@News from Pigeon Falls– the little town in my garage where the trains still run, dragons fly, and Last Lutheran waits an answer– Pastor Joan Castle has not yet decided if she is accepting the call to Last Lutheran or not. Some members of Last Lutheran think that she has had enough time and should let them know what her answer is. One of them has a friend in the Parish Pastor Castle is now serving. He discovered that Pastor Castle and her husband have gone with the youth group on a camping trip up into Canada and won’t be back for a week. They plan on stopping to visit some guy named Bill who calls himself “ The Old Fart”. They hope some of his piety will rub off on the kids. The trip was planned a long time ago and Pastor Castle felt obligated to carrying it out. Besides she cares about the group and the faith development of the kids. So it seems Last Lutheran will just have to wait for an answer.
Eino is still trying to solve the mystery of the stone man that vanished from his garage basement. He has a friend in the FBI who grew up in Pigeon Falls. That friend told him that some government officials were upset by Eino’s attempts . He advised Eino to stop trying for the moment and let him look into it quietly. Eino was not happy but agreed to do that.

Worked a bit in the basement today. I watched my soaps. Betty and Pennie took the dog to the doggy kindergarten for graduation . Then they will bring the dog home and go to Life Fest. I need a breathing treatment.
