Week off

Due to the fact that I don't feel well, and have plenty of work to do this week, I am going to take a little time off from producing posts. Though I will publish my Christmas Eve, and day services here.
Otherwise, I want to wish all a merry Christmas, and thank you for visiting this site. I am not always good at responding to comments, but I do appreciate them.
Your Brother in Christ,
Bror Erickson

Know that my lack of my daily response, does not mean your "Spirit" driven devotionals are not part of my daily routine.
You are very much of my me and my son's daily Prayers, and Spiritual growth.

Merry Christmas Pastor...

My Morning Devotions, or Justification for a Pastor's Blog

I decided I need, maybe to post more often. My last year in seminary, I took a life saver of a class from Prof. Pless called the “Pastor’s Devotional Life.” In this class he suggested that a pastor’s devotions ought to be creative, in that something should be created out of them.I spend every morning in prayer and devotion, study. And I normally don’t look at the day to day of the office, Sermons, Bible Studies, visits, etc. until at the earliest mid morning. I find after spending time feeding myself from the green pasture of God’s word, I have a lot more with which to feed the sheep entrusted to me. These posts on this blog will be the fruits of my morning study, my breakfast from which I get my nourishment. I don’t want this to get complicated, it's breakfast not dinner. But I am willing to share my breakfast with you. Just thoughts that I have here and there as I read through the Greek New Testament, or the Book of Concord in German, or whatever else I happen to read in my morning devotions. Expect the musings to be eclectic.
