I’m a Lutheran pastor – Well over 30 years in parish ministry. I’m a novice at blogs, but think this might provide a place for some free-wheeling dialogue on anything that might be of interest or concern with those of us who wrestle with matters of faith and life. I’ll try not to be dogmatic or “preachy”, and at my age have enough life experience to know I don’t have any right to be judgmental! Comments and questions about anything – from simple and mundane, to complex and vital – are welcome. I’ll try to check into this site once a week – and while I can’t promise responding to everything that comes this way, I’ll give it a shot.
Hello Andrew,
I too am new to this media, but the reason I am writing is to let you know that I have enjoyed reading your devotions in “The Word In Season/Christ in our Home” they have been speaking to me in ways that I couldn’t explain. So I had to look you up. I’d sure like to know more about you, your thoughts about anything and your journey. I am a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Old Saybrook CT. Thanks for your words. Blessings on your day.

I didn’t realize you were back in town.
Andrew,
I recently heard that you are struggling with cancer. My prayers are with you. I don’t know if you realize what an impact you had on my life and that of Paul and Sherri. You were a blessing to us. Thank you.
God Bless you.

Andrew,
I know that you are crossing over the Boundary Waters today in God’s hands. I received the news of your passing from a co-worker with your cousin Dan.
How, I wish we had been able to meet. I am so glad I was able to share my wedding video with you and that you signed my book “Crossing Boundry Waters”. Your story along with “Smithson’s Island” by Judith Smithson had such an impact on my life at a time when it needed a push. My 50 mile hike on the Superior Ttrail 12 years ago was my time “to die”, to let go and “to live”.
Oh, how I wish we had met.
Your words are with me.
In Peace.
Of all the paths you walk in life make sure a few of them are dirt…..

Bless you Andrew. You impacted my life greatly as a high schooler and I’ll always appreciate how you helped me find God and church all around me in the wilderness. May you be at peace.

I only learned today of your death. Your passing brought your Blogs to me. What thoughtful and genuine words and thoughts!.. Your Dad had a very great impact on my journey, including my decision to be a Pastor. What a gift all the way around!

Andrew,
I just learned of your passing today. How greatly grieved I am for you and Patty. My WCB memories of you both are really special. You were such a great role model for me as a young man. Thank you for your gift of life and ministry to me and so many others. Go in peace my friend.
