Yesterday was the first of the autumnal Ember Days. We prepare for Fall which begins on Saturday!
Lily, Gerhardt and I went for an “Embertide Walk” yesterday to look at the changes taking place as creation leaves Summer behind and welcomes Fall.

Bugs and Butterflies
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012
We have had a beautiful Spring. A few days last week were what you would call “perfect” cool but not too cold and sunny. It’s butterfly season so we had to take some time to chase a few down in the park. The girls loved it, they didn’t catch any, but were thrilled to try!
“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait for me!” I’m not sure if Clara is talking to Lily or the butterflies.

Winter 2012. And you just thought you were in NE. Ick.
As Christmas came and went and to my great sadness, remained brown, I got to reflecting on past winters. We have lived in NE for a little over 4 years. We just celebrated our 5th Christmas here and until this year everyone of them have been White, very very white and cold. We’ve even had to cancel Christmas services due to a blizzard. So this year I have to admit, I was quite disappointed to have no snow. And not just not have snow, we’ve had temperatures in the 60s this winter! When did we move back to Texas?
Let us take a look back.
St. John Lutheran Church

This is a picture of my vacancy church, perhaps soon to be part of a dual parish with the church I am currently called to. Although it looks too good to be real, a member who lives near the church sent it to me. It’s not always this pretty though. I remember drifts a couple of winters ago over 8 ft tall on this gravel road.
