Episcopal Chaplain at the BedsideAn Episcopal (Anglican) Chaplain in Health Care reflecting on work and faith and life. NOTA BENE: my opinions are my own and do not represent the Episcopal Church or the health care system within which I work.
Church Stuff-more or lessDoes the church make sense or do we make it too hard for people to come in? I think yes and yes and the task then is to make it easier. Maybe for someone out there, this will be the case. I write as a Lutheran although I might seem out of the mainstream from time to time. That's okay, isn't it? Let's blog on.

Quaerite DominumThis blog is meant to be an online sanctuary, as we seek, pray, meditate, read the Word, and partake of the sacraments. All that is written here is done thoughtfully, soulfully, sometimes playfully, but most of all, prayerfully. Nothing political, nothing flashy, and nothing complex here. If you are seeking to be amused or to be entertained, this is probably not the place for you. Yet if you come here with an open heart, and wish to kneel with me before the Lord our Maker, then come, let us worship the Lord.
