I teared up picturing your description of skinny Pops trying to keep warm.<BR/><BR/>I try to keep up with you and Matt Schur via your blogs, but don't click over enough. It's always heartening to read your collective posts and see the work you guys are doing these days. It would make Dad so quietly proud to see what you're all doing years later. It makes me happy in his stead. Thanks, Scott. (And don't forget that he was a clueless new campus pastor once. The only thing he ever did was be himself. I'm sure you're leading in exactly the same authentic way.)Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851164640060699484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-12892013018255645322009-01-12T21:22:00.000-06:002009-01-12T21:22:00.000-06:00Dad used to put me to work at the Center when I wa...Dad used to put me to work at the Center when I was home for winter break during college. I have memories of sitting in my coat by the fire at the Center, stuffing envelopes and whatnot, because Dad had turned down the thermostat while the students were away, leaving anyone who remained shivering in the building. I always chalked it up to a typical frugal Dad thing...your version is more poetic. :-)<BR/>Thanks for sharing, <BR/>BekkaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530562245649352620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-17179047289422115582009-01-10T10:07:00.000-06:002009-01-10T10:07:00.000-06:00Ames is lucky to have you, my friend, and we are y...Ames is lucky to have you, my friend, and we are your lucky blog readers.

I remember sitting not near a fireplace, but cross-legged on the floor in the office of the local ALC/LCA campus ministry's pastoral intern, drinking Liebraumilch with her and with a roomful of other students I didn't know. I looked around and thought, "I really like these people. I think this is where I need to be." And how ironic that, 30 years later, I'm pretty much still in the same place.;-)LutheranChikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685566332651377907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-74275696259058184102009-01-09T16:13:00.000-06:002009-01-09T16:13:00.000-06:00HC - Why do you think I'm here today? :-)HC - Why do you think I'm here today? :-)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00157331552693781962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-59505089965809882562009-01-09T16:06:00.000-06:002009-01-09T16:06:00.000-06:00it is a continual finding your way, discovering yo...it is a continual finding your way, discovering your spot... but it sounds good, all good that you continue to grow and live into the new call... sounds just right!<BR/><BR/>PS - wouldn't mind a fire myself today with freezing rain and now blowing snow. brrr!Hot Cup Lutheranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125425492709186198noreply@blogger.com
