Mourning Every Loss — Even the Unthinkable
By: Amanda Douglas Every Death is a Loss From a Lutheran perspective, especially rooted in Scripture and the theology of the cross, we’re reminded that every death is a loss.

Jesus Died For All- Part 1
By: Amanda Douglas As we enter the Lenten season, I thought it would be appropriate to reflect on the work that Jesus did on the cross for each and every one of us. The relation to Christ’s death on Good Friday, burial, and resurrection on Easter Sunday directly affects how we see God and each…
