We All Believe in One True God

I, of course, did not had such a straight path to the church.

I grew up in a Catholic home. Though, my parents are more culturally Catholic than religious. I imagine this is very similar to the way some people are Jewish. The culture eventually takes precedent over the under-pinnings of the faith. This is, from a world view, not a bad thing. Their religion is just an inward thing.

I attended Catholic schools through my freshman year in high-school. I fell away from the church and from faith during college. I should be more clear; my rebellion was more an intellectual than a spiritual one. I needed to find a better way to embrace my faith than just blindly trusting my education. I found it in the writings of Soren Kierkegaard.

After attending church with ma cherè and then the Ts for so many years, I was confirmed into WELS a few years ago.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

This is another one of those posts that has taken a few weeks to write. I've broken it up to make it shorter to read.

When we first started talking about the career change and the possibility of moving, we naturally had to consider schools and church. Ma chère was raised Lutheran and educated from kindergarten through high school in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) school system. The Ts were all baptized in WELS churches and have always been in a WELS schools, most recently Atonement Lutheran School in Milwaukee.

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here

Staffing has been an issue for me from the very beginning at the P's. I have a, relatively, stable staff; however, I am always looking to "upgrade". Some things I can train; however, there needs to be an inherent ability. The industry calls it a "Service Heart". An innate desire to please and see a job done, thoroughly.

One of neat things about my training was being in a room where the majority of the people had "Service Heart". It was comforting to be with people that also felt compelled to do a proper job, properly.

(It is funny, but apparently the only way I have to explain this ability is with the use of adverbs, precisely. HA!)
