Writings from a shepherd of Christ's flock
Religion News Service published this article of mine on January 26, 2021. I have shared a preview below. The full article can be found here.
I stepped into the pulpit on Jan. 10 feeling an extraordinary weight. Four days earlier, 11 miles from our church, some of those protesting the certification of the presidential election broke through glass, beat police with American flags and precipitated the first incursion into the U.S. Capitol building since the War of 1812.

If I want to make one of my twins squirm, all I have to say is, “Son, when a mommy and a daddy really love each other…” We’ve had the sex talk, so they know where that conversation is going. They yell, “Dad!” and look for a quick exit.
If I want to make adults squirm in our church, all I have to say is, “So what do you think about the election?” Eyes dart around the room to see who is there, what I know about their political opinions, and how guarded I need to be with mine. [ . . . ]
