Renewed in worship, we go forth to witness to the light that shines brightly in our midst.
Please join us for worship:

Join us for a unique experience of sharing the light of Christ as we celebrate the Epiphany of our Lord. On this day we rejoice with the Wise Men that God’s gift of love is extended to people of all nations. In our worship and fellowship we will celebrate the depth of God’s grace in our lives.

Bring a live tree to be burned, if you have one. If not, join us anyway. Most of the festivities will be inside a warm building. There is not far to walk from the parking into the building.

This is an event for people of all ages!
Christmas 2018
Grace Lutheran Church made a significant impact on our community during the Christmas season. Here are the highlights of how we made a difference:

  • Table of Grace served meals on Christmas Day and New Years Day – Gift bags of helpful items were given to our neighbors

  • Our teens sponsored a basketball tournament raising $550 to give gifts to children in foster care. This event was supported by Thrivent Financial.

  • Our confirmation class, with the help of Thrivent Financial, supported a local family with Christmas gifts for two boys and their mom

  • Thirteen families received boxes of food and a Wal-Mart gift card 

  • Boy Scout Troop 393 gave a large box of hats, gloves, and socks to the Cold Weather Shelter

  • Little Friends of Grace shared children’s hats, gloves and scarves with the Shepherd’s Staff

  • Women of the ELCA prepared 39 gift boxes for Seafarers stopping in the Port of Baltimore

EJI's New Legacy Museum



We visited EJI’s new Legacy Museum on January 3, 2019 in
Montgomery, Alabama.

We were not allowed to take pictures inside The Legacy
Museum, in Montgomery Alabama when we visited on Jan. 3, 2019 – and security
was tight. The museum is not for the faint of heart. The museum is “An
unparalleled resource for researchers, the museum houses the nation's most
comprehensive collection of data on lynching. It also presents previously
unseen archival information about the domestic slave trade brought to life
through new technology…

“The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration opened to the public on April 26, 2018, in Montgomery, Alabama. The 11,000-square-foot museum is built on the site of a former warehouse where enslaved black people were imprisoned, and is located midway between an historic slave market and the main river dock and train station where tens of thousands of enslaved people were trafficked during the height of the domestic slave trade…”

Much more information about “The Legacy Museum: From
Enslavement to Mass Incarceration,” can be found at the website for the museum

The ever escalating cost of municipal water


The ever escalating cost of municipal water

I recently, December 30, 2018, ran across a post on Facebook about the cost of water. Apparently, after I did some more reading, the individual was a new homeowner, and they wanted to do a compare and contrast with the water bills from other folks in the area.

The post got a great deal of attention – and actually, considering it was Facebook, many very thoughtful responses.

Many folks either posted a snapshot of their water bill or reported on the cost of a recent water bill, in a reply and then identified how many folks were in the family. I wrote, “Two adults and one imaginary friend: $119.23... We try to conserve water – but we are not frenzied about it.”

Sadly, the cost of water is only going to continue to go up. It’s off the hook. And there is little that local officials can do about it. I wrote an article about the spiraling costs not too long ago. Find it here: https://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/cc-lt-dayhoff-090918-story.html

Christopher Ingraham – Washington Post: “I ordered a box of crickets…”


Christopher Ingraham – Washington Post: “I ordered a box of crickets…”

This story is too fun: “I ordered a box of crickets from the Internet and it went about as well as you’d expect,” by Christopher Ingraham December 29, 2018 in the Washington Post. Find it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6 

“For Christmas this year, my family adopted a young bearded dragon lizard as a pet.

“Our dragon, whom we named Holly, eats a lot, and the thing she loves to eat most is crickets (typically about 10 a day, in addition to other things like mealworms and vegetables). From the get-go, I knew that keeping an ample supply of crickets on hand would require some planning. We live in a rural area of northwestern Minnesota. The closest pet shop is an hour away, in North Dakota. Restocking our cricket supply would require a time commitment of at least two hours out and back.

“By Christmas Day this year, Holly’s cricket supply was running low. I decided to order crickets online, which I had never done before, to save a trip to North Dakota. I bought the crickets from Fluker Farms, one of the more well-established online insect vendors (yes, these exist and there are a lot of them). I decided on a shipment of 250 crickets …” Read much more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6

“Who’s up for a dramatic reading of the minutes from the last meeting?”


“Who’s up for a dramatic reading of the minutes from the last meeting?”

For whatever reason – I have had to write a large number of minutes, agendas, reports, secretary’s certificates and the like, for a number of organizations, including the church, the NAACP, and the fire company in the last several months. And I think that I am about to finish the fifth set of minutes for the month of December. I was looking for a graphic to include in one of the sets of minutes, when I came across this one – and it made me smile. 31Dec2018

On Dec. 25, 2001, the Christian rock band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation”



On Dec. 25, 2001, the Christian rock band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation”

By Kevin Dayhoff, assembled from multiple sources Dec. 26, 2018

On Dec. 25, 2001, the American Christian metal band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation,” a single from the album “Satellite,” written by Noah Bernardo, Marcos Curiel, Traa Daniels, and Sonny Sandoval. For many historians, the song is accepted as an anthem of the era in its telling of three stories of adolescent tragedy in American culture.

If you check out the official Atlantic Records’ music video carefully, directed by Paul Fedor, Carhenge is used as a backdrop for parts of the chorus; and the book “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac can be seen on the dashboard of the car - https://youtu.be/EDKwCvD56kw. 

According to multiple sources, but best explained by Zachary Fenell, in “Alternative Rock Songs About Suicide,” October 11, 2010, “It begins by describing a teenager unknowingly skating to school only to be shot by a fellow student. Lyrics go on to speculate whether or not the boy who committed the act felt unloved. 

“Following the chorus, a 12-year-old girl called ‘little Suzie’ is depicted as having been abandoned by her father and subsequently ‘finding love in all the wrong places.’ 

“Finally, another teen known as ‘Johnny boy’ fails to fit in with his peers and ultimately commits suicide by firearm, ‘[telling] the world how he felt with the sound of a gat.’”

In an interview with Mitchell Blatt in 2008, “Back Together, New Album in April” Curiel said, "When you can hear something that's going to uplift you like 'Alive' or something that's going to bring out knowledge like 'Youth of the Nation,' we've done our jobs as an artist."

95-year-old Bob Dole stands from his wheelchair at the Capitol

4Dec2018 - 95-year-old Bob Dole stands from his wheelchair at the Capitol to salute the casket of fellow World War II veteran - President George H.W. Bush.

By all rights, 21-year-old Bob Dole should have been dead after being shot by Germans in WW2, and 20-year-old George Bush after being shot out of the sky by the Japanese.

Stand for the flag - kneel for the cross.

George H.W. Bush’s service dog, “Sully”


Spokesman for the Bush family Jim McGrath shared this photo of George H.W. Bush's service dog, Sully. https://bit.ly/2FTFD5R

KVUE, “Mission complete. #Remembering41” 9:01 PM - Dec 2, 2018 HOUSTON — George H.W. Bush’s service dog spent a moment with the 41st president’s casket on Sunday night, ahead of a week filled with memorial services.

Bush’s longtime spokesman, Jim McGrath, tweeted a photo the service dog, Sully, laying in front of the casket. The caption read, “Mission complete.”

Bush’s son Jeb retweeted the photo and said, “Sully has the watch.”

According to a news article at KVUE, “Bush will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol giving the American public an opportunity to bid farewell. An arrival ceremony will be held for the former president on Monday at 5 p.m. CT. The public is invited to pay respects beginning Monday at 6:30 p.m. CT through Wednesday at 6 a.m.

“Wednesday [Dec. 5, 2018] is the national day of mourning.

“A plane arrived at Ellington Airport in Houston to take Bush’s body to Washington. A train will eventually take him to his final resting place in College Station with his wife Barbara, who died earlier this year, and daughter Robin, who died from leukemia as a child.”
