Jesus is For Everyone and the New Testament Feedings
Just after our Christmas break I had the privilege of sharing a chapel message for a local Lutheran elementary school. Since we had just entered the season of Epiphany, I focused on the story of the Magi and their visit to the Christ child. Since the Magi were Gentiles and seen outside the family of …

Neither a Hero nor a Villian: Education in the AI Era
As Christians, we live as both sinners and saints through Christ's death and resurrection, and we embrace that tension. The Law still applies to our lives, but the Gospel frees us. As I age, I am aware that I need to live with the wisdom I have accumulated through the years, but still have the …

Lutheran Education and Little Things
I had a former student who I have not seen for probably 25+ years message me this weekend. She is now married and has a family of her own. Here is what she said. For the record, the "drink water upside down" to get rid of hiccups thing you taught us middle school aged so …
New Menu Link: What I Am Reading
Last month I led a session on artificial intelligence (AI) for administrators in our Rocky Mountain District. One request from that session was to share what I read about AI. I was also asked to share a few thoughts about what I read. To that end, I have created a new page and menu link …

AI Letter to My Students
Summer (at least for a teacher) is over. Students return to the building today with our New Student Orientation. Regular classes begin for me on Friday. That means that it time to transition from my summer study and reading to classroom application. I have a list of between 30 to 40 popular articles (I haven't …
“This is What I See” and AI
When I taught Theology classes for high school freshman, one of the things I learned quickly is to use the personal pronoun “I” during class discussions. If I were to say “we believe” about something, inevitably this would be challenged by students. “I don’t know if I believe this,” they might exclaim. And they were …
