Thoughts from a First Call Pastor

Here I will share some thoughts as I begin my career at Christ Lutheran in Byron, MN. Since I'm done with seminary I'm hoping there are a few ideas left rolling around in my head worth sharing. So here it is, some of the things that I think I think...

Flight Days

Today I went over and enjoyed "Eagle Flight Days". It's the local town festival in Eagle. I think tomorrow morning I'll participate in the 10K before church. The theme for the parade was Hawaiian. It was a pretty neat parade, with some rather elaborate floats. It was well done. I think it was helped by having a theme, it encouraged the floats a bit more. The day campers from the church here in Gypsum were in a Noah's Ark float that was really quite cute. We then went over to the town square area where there were booths, a bake off, and a coloring contest going on. I kid you not it looked like a scene straight out of a movie, with train rides for the kids and everything. It was fun, but it was so different than other small town festivals that I've been around. This one was so clean, so organized... I'm not sure what it was. It was just straight out of a movie, where other festivals have tended to be a bit more haphazard, which is frankly part of the charm in them for me. Perhaps it was the order which gave it a more sterile feel, where a thrown together festival feels a bit more earthy and real. I don't know. What I do know is that I had fun.
