Well, it’s almost 6:30 AM and Pastor Dave should be here in a few minutes to give me a lift to the airport. This morning I fly out to Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary for my twice a year visit for my participation in the TEEM (Theological Education for Emerging Ministries) program.


I took my summer courses at Luther Seminary in St. Paul and now I head out for a week in the “Bay Area” specifically Berkley California. Summer in MN, fall and winter in CA. A pretty good deal as long as it doesn’t get in the way of my skijoring.
People often ask me if I am pursueing ordination. The answer is yes, and the TEEM program is the process I am utilizing. I am about a year and a half away from completing the program, a little less if I can get the stars to align just right so that I can get the classes I need when I need them.
So, I’m off. I just might make a post while I’m out there, if not, I’ll write when I get back.
