The Good News is that lots of people are checking into this blog. The bad news is that if enough check in some of the music can’t play because I am “over my quota”. Never knew I had a quota but that’s ok. The music didn’t play for a while so for those who missed it the music catalogue is –
“The Son Rises Here Too”. September 22 – I put this on for David because he says it is one of his favorite songs.
“Fire In The Sky”. August 6
“Fear Not I Am With You”. June 29
Ain’t Know Grave Can Hold My Body Down”. April 23
The other good news is that David Chuchu the project manager for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya will be coming to North Dakota and Minnesota.
He preached at Park Rapids October 2, and will speak at and attend the Minnesota North Pastors Conference at Lutheran Island camp. From there he will travel to Bismarck ND and speak at the Pastors conference and Martin Luther School on October 5. On the 6th he goes to Hannover, Beulah and Dickinson to visit churches and Pastors and see the Badlands. October 7-8 he will be with the Pastors in Minot and view the flood clean up efforts and then on the Devils Lake and Grand Forks where he will preach at Redeemer on the 9th. Then on to Fargo and an airplane to wherever he is going next. We pray God speed and if you are in his neighborhood while here, check him out. Here is a picture that he sent me of Rongo Rescue Center in Kenya.

Hello Bernie,
I am glad to see you’v extended the active practice of good religion to parts of Africa too.
How is Evelyn doing with her household budgeting? She never lets me help her with those things and I suspect maybe one of your church employees would be a true “godsend” for her in term of such issues.
That I have my own ‘issues’ with money is not an indication I should not be concerned with her financial welfare. But I am doing better, much better though I am seriously yet substitutig spending money rather than being with my loved ones too.
I tell you many of your sermons were earnest and yet models for a balanced and real criticism of “the outside world”. I found many of them good.
I would hope you and other similarly critical thinkers in the Lutheran churches would be true protestants against the clearly hypocritical use of words in the details of doctrine; as “the virgin Mary”, etc.
I never could say the words that Catholics and Lutherans say in the creeds without omitting certain words or feeling like a self-hating liar and hypocrites. This is a very widespread problem in Christian churches of teh western world, I would think so anyway.
Hope you can research out for me if Ev needs help in budgeting and let me know.
Sincerely,
John Kevin Allensworth
