Hi Paul:
Am sitting in the library at New Braunfels. Have written to Jerry & Elaine Thomas who are still in MN but will soon be driving south I suspect. Doing some thinking about a date to come to E.P.. Thinking of early March and probably a week-end. Do you have any suggestions? This may be your day of rest / sabbath. If so, take it (!), and let your reply come tomorrow, perhaps.
Had not checked your LSTC blog until a few minutes ago. Very good. Informative, educational, engaging. I will send a short squib back to Park Rapids for the March newsletter.
God bless you with a day of refreshment and renewal.

Paul, I stumbled upon your blog by accident today through research for Advent worship ideas. It’s so nice to catch-up on your ministry and to hear God’s word through your blog. Thanks!

Glad to get an email, somehow, on a message fr. a pastor in St. Paul. We are about four hours from SP. Looking forward to a possible visit again. God bless you in this coming Advent season when we LOOK FORWARD to the promises of the Kingdom that is now and coming! The hope factor; may it bring continued assurance to all who struggle for a better day for themselves and their loved ones.
Ooops P.S…..
Have read THe Hammer of God and Tecate Journals. Both good reads and worthy of a lot of reflection. (re: Your June , 201 archive entry.)
