Well, I just got back from the ordination of my son-in-law, Ned Moerbe, and his installation as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Blackwell, Oklahoma (just a few miles from our ancestral farm outside of Tonkawa). It was a great occasion. I counted 15 pastors taking part. The circuit is far flung, including Stillwater (where Oklahoma State University is), Guthrie (where my wife grew up), and Alva (where I was born). It was very moving when Ned was ordained and then started leading the service himself, including his first celebration of Holy Communion.<\/p>\n

And then the pot-luck dinner afterwards that the church put on was one of the biggest and best I\u2019ve experienced, with at least half a dozen different varieties of BBQ!<\/p>\n

Now Ned\u2019s a pastor. I am so happy for him, the rest of his family, and his congregation.<\/p>\n
