"At Home in the House of My Fathers"


Just finishing up on project I've been chipping away on for years. "At Home in the House of My Fathers" will be in print very soon. It will include some 100 mostly hitherto un-translated and or unavailable documents by the first five (German born) presidents of the Missouri Synod: Walther, Wyneken, Schwan, Pieper and Pfotenhauer

It's a gold mine.

JFK Reads the Declaration of Independence

Here's what my relatives (can't be there this year) are doing today. They'd do more if fire works were legal in Iowa...

Happy 4th!

And having thus chosen our course, without guile, and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear, and with manly hearts.
