Cathedral of St. Paul
This past weekend my mom came to town to watch the girls while Gretchen and I went to South Dakota for Dan & Heidi’s wedding. On Monday, we took my mom to St. Paul for pizza at Cossetta’s (the best New York style pizza we have found in the cities…other suggestions welcome). After we filled our stomachs with Italian sausage and grease we decided to view The Cathedral of St. Paul. This was my first experience there and the only appropriate initial response to the place was...

Read MoreAn Easter Thought
It is the morning after Easter & I am still blown away by yesterday’s events. I had the privilege of baptizing Nicole and celebrating Easter with my church family. Then this morning I received an E-mail from John Eldredge. Obviously this wasn’t addressed to me personally (although Jack (for you Cliff) & I go way back)…I am on the intercessory prayer team for Ransomed Heart. Enjoy his thoughts. I hope they will encourage you like they did me. Here it is… I hope you had a...
