By the time they departed Cornell, Steve Donahue’s coaching staff had become particularly adept at identifying, evaluating and recruiting transfer talent to Cornell.

CUW Helps “Feed My Starving Children”
A few weeks ago Andrew and his Cornell teammates helped with a “Feed My Starving Children” event in Ithaca at Trinity Lutheran Church (where my seminary classmate and basketball teammate, Rob Foote, is pastor). This weekend was Concordia’s turn to help provide nutritional meals for hungry people around the world. The event was an amazing success. We hosted 1,363 volunteers who filled 1,516 boxes. That translates to 327,456 meals already on the way to children who need the food. Now those are some nice stats! See the Fox News story here.

Kansas — There is No Place Like Home!
A St. John’s alumna recently read about her alma mater in “Faith in the Freshman.” She took a little exception to my disparaging remarks about her native state! I assured Karen, however, that the grown-up version of myself has a much higher opinion of Kansas than my eighteen-year-old self. Read her response to the book below: Read the rest of this entry »
Sheboygan Lutheran High School Taproot Dinner Reflections
Recently I had the opportunity to speak at Sheboygan Lutheran High School’s “Taproot” Banquet — a dinner for donors and friends.

A Freshman’s Parent and “Faith in the Freshman”
As part of Freshman Orientation this Fall, I had the chance to interact with parents of new students utilizing the book as a springboard for conversation.
