Augustana Heritage & Midsommars comes to an end……….
| Augustana Heritage & Midsommars comes to an end………. | Jun 22, ‘08 2:20 PM for everyone |
Thought for today:
For more Midsommardagen photos, here are some a good friend took. They are great. He is so much better than I am!!! I started the day going to church at the College for the Augustana Heritage convention. What a huge crowd. The minister gave a wonderful sermon about how are church needs to change in order to grow. We need to learn to accept & live with people of all cultures & beliefs. We are all alike & have the same wants & needs no matter what colour their skin or church they go to. And we need to accept those from the GLBT community. I am sure many in the audience were shocked at his message, but if we do not change, we will die. My own church is losing many members as are other area churches. I then went to eat at the college caf with Paul & Sally, cousin Phyllis from Washington DC, & friend Lloyd, minister from California. I rarely get to see enough of Lloyd so having a meal with him was really special. The caf put on quite a feast. I ate too much. Harvest is in full swing. Have not talked to Willie to see how the wheat is. It looked really good though. Not sure who all is helping. I know at least we have one helper. How I worry. The weather is hot but not horrid. It is 93F now. But there is a possibility of severe weather with hail later. I did not hear that but Sally did. Will keep my fingers crossed. So, Midsommars came to an end last nite & the Augustana group goes home to all parts of the US & Canada. It has been a glorious weekend. I have enjoyed all I was a part of. Going to 4 church services on 3 different days has made a change in me. I have done much thinking on my own church & my Swedish roots from Värmland to Lindsborg. And my life must change now. The 4th and last church service is today at 4pm. It is entirely in Swedish. Bishop Hagberg will give the sermon. He is a great speaker & it will be a good message. Gått för dagen. Kanske. Be well, do good work, and keep in touch!
