The Burr in the Burgh

On this Tuesday of Holy Week, we continue our pilgrimage with Jesus toward the cross. To help you on your journey, here is an excellent devotion written by Martin Luther called "How to Meditate on the Passion of Christ." It's a pdf file.

Pastor Andrew Elisa, President of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Sudan and a dear friend, came to speak to our congregation in January.

According to dictionary.com, a "burr" can be defined as below:

• A rough prickly husk or covering surrounding the seeds or fruits of plants such as the chestnut or the burdock.

• A persistently clinging or nettlesome person or thing.

I chose this as the title for my new blog because the Katherine Luther quote at the top of the page has long meant a lot to me. But even more important than my clinging to Him is the fact that He holds on to me.
