The Burr in the Burgh

This weekend, I'll be in Kenosha, WI. I'm leading a retreat held by Lamb of God Lutheran Church and Messiah Lutheran Church with the title: Why We Hurt. A retreat on Suffering. If you happen to be in the area, please come on by.

I've taught on this topic any number of times. It's an inevitable motif for anyone who is a pastor. This week, in preparation, I've decided to re-read three books: When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold Kushner, Man's Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl, and The Problem of Pain by Clive Staples Lewis.

Over the next several days, I will make comments on my reading.
