Published in The Columbus Dispatch on Oct. 24, 2019***GJ - Norm and Jean joined Shepherd of Peace when I was the pastor. We had many discussions about doctrinal topics and political issues. Like many of that era, they were the first to volunteer for anything and often were ahead of the rest. They phoned the synod president when they objected to downward trend of WELS.

KJV John 11: 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
