We had another wonderful day here in Odder, not far from the sea between Jutland and Zealand — and south of Norway and north of Germany. We’ve been given blue skies and cool, lightly breezy evenings. The theme of the week is “Grace for the day: Nåde for i dag.” (The little circle above the ‘a’ in Nåde gives it a sound like an ‘o’.) |inline Read more
I wrote this some time ago, but thought posting it while we are in Denmark might be a godo time. House Sparrows, a member of the finch family, may be one of the more “evolved” bird species that exist, but they are stupid. I’m sorry to say this, but they have been driving us nutso this summer. We fill the feeder and they proceed — within four hours — of draining the thing. Only they don’t eat it all. What... Read more

One day before we came to Denmark Kris asked me how much Danish I thought we might be able to understand. My comment was that we didn’t need to worry because my understanding was that most Danish knew English – which has proven once again to show just how international the Danish can be.

We spent the entire day wandering from the south part of Copenhagen to the northern part yesterday. The weather began a little chilly and misty, so we dipped into a coffee shop, and then it turned out to be a glorious sunny day as we strolled around. Today we take a train from Copenhagen to the Aarhus area, crossing Funen and into Central Jutland. I speak tonight on Forgiving Grace. Here are some pictures from yesterday. |inline Read more
O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you, and grant that they may know and understand what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Read more
A long plane flight — well long because it began at 10pm Thursday and we arrived in Copenhagen (Kobenhavn) at 1pm. 7.5 hours in flight and lots of hours buried in time change. Still, we are excited to be here and have two days here before our train ride over to Jutland and to Odder where I will be speaking at the Oase conference. Here are some pictures from today: |inline Read more
We will be spending most of the week in Odder, Denmark, just south of Aarhus, but before we left I did what I could to get some links up for the week. |inline Read more
In Jon Wilson’s fine study, Why Church Matters, we turn this week from “Foundations” to “Renovations” and in his two chps on this topic he speaks first about “Witness.” And his way to put it all together is in this: “Witness as Kingdom Words and Deeds.” Read on. |inline Read more
