Child of God
I've been a Christian all my life, but I didn't truly understand what that meant until I was in my 40s. Then, the love of Christ and the Holy Sprit transformed my life one evening...
Throughout my journey as a technical leader and executive, the values of stewardship, vocation, and integrity have remained central to my professional and personal life.
My path has been shaped not only by decades of engineering and leadership experience but also by a foundation laid in the Lutheran tradition during my youth. The grace received through baptism as an infant and the commitment made during my confirmation were pivotal milestones.
These early experiences instilled a sense of purpose and a "theology of the cross" perspective that views challenges as opportunities for growth and service. This upbringing profoundly influenced my decision to pursue a career in technology—viewing innovation as a way to solve complex problems and serve the neighbor—and ultimately guided my path as a Christian.

This week at Triumphant Cross: Prayers for the Church on Thursday, Sunday School and Worship on Sunday, plus Cindy Manning's sermon on the cup of cold water is now online.
Pastor Kay returns as supply pastor on July 12, and Bishop Kevin Strickland of the ELCA Southeastern Synod leads worship on July 26. Please keep them in your prayers.
Sunday's sermon explored why taking up your cross means more than inspiration — it means sacrifice, surrender, and the hard daily work of following Jesus.
