A possible mystery: Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue died today and news coverage and older articles mention a memoir he wrote called “Jersey City to America’s Game” possibly coauthored by Michael MacCambridge but I can’t find it anywhere. No product listings, no ISBN. Does it exist?

2025 Flucke family trick-or-treating in Port Washington. This year is the first time ever in my adult life that I’ve actually worn a costume for trick-or-treating, and I went with the most obvious choice for a Lutheran pastor. Christin said I didn’t fit the PBS kids theme. #trickortreat🎃 #halloween

Sometimes as I post a quick video onto TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, I remember what it was like trying to figure out how to share a Lego stop motion video online back in 2004. On dialup. Then I feel old. #millennial

The American evangelical persecution complex is real. I appreciate this article.
I have a new article out tonight where I offer an apology to white evangelicals. I was wrong. You were right. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. And I offer no excuses.

I long for a world where no one gets shot. Not schoolchildren. Not political provocateurs. Not teachers. Not people who advocate for or against the 2nd amendment. Not protestors or politicians. Or worshippers. Or people going out for dinner or jogging in parks.

Having fulfilled my patriotic duty as an American to support corporate processed junk food collaborations and tried both, it is my firm opinion that the Oreo Reese’s peanut butter cup is much better than the Reese’s Oreo cookie.

I’m reading a book on church leadership, and the author keeps using the phrases “your church” and “my church.” And I get it. I say that sometimes too. But I’m trying to consciously shift to “the church I serve” because this church–this congregation–does not belong to me. It belongs to Jesus.

I listen to enough ELCA conversations to not be at all surprised at Bishop Curry’s election. But I think it’s worth noting that the person elected was not one of those who participated in the process as a pre-identified candidate.

Funny, the latest post from the ELCA Twitter/D account is about Presiding Bishop Curry (the other one). #ELCACWA25
