Reflect on the dignity of work as a divine gift from God
For many Americans, Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer. Perhaps you were able to escape to the lake, venture on some family trip, have a backyard barbeque, or get in the last few days of Minnesota’s great get-together (the MN State Fair). But whatever Labor Day activities you did this weekend, I hope and pray it was a good one. However, did you ever think about what Day means, especially from a Christina perspective?

A Message from Senator Klobuchar on Farmfest
Minnesota’s farmers and ranchers have made our state the sixth-largest agricultural producing state and the fourth-largest exporter of agricultural commodities in the country — generating $106 billion in economic activity every year and supporting 388,000 jobs. They produce turkey for our sandwiches, wheat for our bread, milk for our ice cream, and ground beef for our hamburgers. They produce ethanol that powers our vehicles. Farmfest is our opportunity to celebrate their work and all they do to feed and fuel our state, our country, and the world, while also confronting the challenges rural Minnesota faces now and in the future.
The God of All Comfort
What do you think of when you think about the word comfort? For some, it might be a hammock swinging between two trees. For others, it might be putting on some headphones sliding into a warm bubble-bath and just melting their cares away. For me, when I think about comfort, I think about lying on the beach with my wife, Jen. I’ve got my eyes closed, there’s a cool ocean breeze blowing over me, and all I can hear is the sound of seagulls and waves tumbling across the sand. To me, that’s comfort. But that’s not the kind of comfort the Apostle Paul has in mind in 2 Corinthians 1:3 when he refers to God, as, “the God of all comfort.” No, there, Paul uses the Greek word, paraklēsis (Parrock-lay-cease) and it doesn’t mean ease, or relaxation, or tranquility like it does in our culture.
