• CROSS is for real
  "Holy Cross" is the name of the church in Minneapolis I once belonged to. It is also September 14.

  But how strange! "Holy cross"? What an impossible combination is "holy" and "cross." Something "holy" belongs to God, is intimately a part of His work or even of His own being.

• I-N-G-S is for It's Not Grace only for Sundays
  Before my family moved from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, we lived on Merritt Avenue. A well-indoctrinated parishioner once remarked, "Mighty odd for a Lutheran to live on 'Merritt.'" What would he say now that, because of our move to a street in Appleton, Wisconsin, we live on Lawe! At least my call is to a Lutheran Church named Grace.
