Why not? A Lutheran pastor from Kansas placed where the Lord would have him serve. A Husband of a wonderful wife and two great children. Some stories of where I have been; an urban LCMS congregation, a congregation and school in the midst of a changing neighborhood in Florida. And now in SouthWest Kansas, where the tumbleweeds roll. It is all about the struggle of proclaiming Christ to people on "this side of the city".

Stealin' Homework
This was kinda funny the other night. I was sitting down with a child named Steve and he was doing some homework. He only had to write out his spelling words 3 times each. He handed me the sheet after he was done and I said,
"Good Job! Now let's try to spell them." I flipped the page over and saw a different name on the paper. I was a little perplexed because I thought his name was Steve, but the paper had E.J. on it. I asked,
"Is your name E.J.?" He gave me the weirdest look and then saw where I was looking. He coughed a little and then said,
"Ya, that's me."But I knew who E.J. was and this was not E.J. So I continued to ask,
"Is this your homework?" He stuttered a little and said,
"E.J. gave it to me to do for him." I thought,
"This E.J. is a smart kid." Then Steve continued,
"I wanted to come to tutoring and the rule is that we have to bring our homework. I didn't have any homework and I really wanted to come. It is boring at home!"
I fell back in my chair almost dying in laughter.
He took E.J.'s homework to be at church. Wow!
