ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Yesterday we returned home after spending the better part of the week with our son, daughter-in-law, & grandson (3+ years-old) in Eagan, MN. Highlights included:
- Walking Calvin to the park several mornings, then enjoying donuts at a bakery on the way home.
- Watching him play at the Teddy Bear playground in Stillwater, MN, followed by burgers & malts at Leo's in downtown Stillwater.
- Spending some time at the Mall of America.
- Lois participated in a 5K on SAT morning.
- Attending SAT night worship at Easter Lutheran Church.
- Enjoying Neopolitan pizza at Punch Pizza in Eagan, following church.
Tomorrow (TUE 8/27) we leave for Grand Island. Lois & I are volunteering at the Lutheran Hour Ministries booth on WED.
Next WED we leave for our Teddy Roosevelt-Glacier National Parks odyssey. Our first day's destination is Rapid City, SD.

BIGOTRY
There is nothing wrong, and much that is right, to dedicating yourself to the cause of fighting bigotry. But it needs to be against the bigotry that exists rather than the bigotry you imagine. If you want to be a giant slayer, great. But attacking windmills like Don Quixote doesn’t make you one. --Jonah Goldberg
No matter our object of worship, the same is true of our lives today. That which claims the most thorough part of our hearts, minds, and time both reflects and shapes our lives. We most certainly live in a time when focusing our minds on one thing is a challenge met with a constant parade of options vying for our attention. The Christian story introduces a God who longs to gather, whose arm is not too short to save (even from ourselves) nor ear too dull to hear, who is the same yesterday and today.

JOURNALISM
If you ever wonder why it is that so many of your fellow Americans believe obvious lies – Russian collusion, election hacking, socialism works – look no further than what journalism has become. There is no institution in America with a larger gap between its potential and its realization; its purpose and its reality, than journalism. Existing institutions can’t be reformed, they need to be destroyed. --Derek Hunter, Townhall 8/20
