Pastor says Minneapolis tornado serves as warning against approving sin
MINNEAPOLIS - A blog post by John Piper, a Minneapolis pastor, called Wednesday's tornado in Minneapolis "a gentle but firm warning to the ELCA and all of us: Turn from the approval of sin. Turn from the promotion of behaviors that lead to destruction. Reaffirm the great Lutheran heritage of allegiance to the truth and authority of Scripture. Turn back from distorting the grace of God into sensuality."

Let There Be Light
It was a sunny, beautiful day outside in Worthington today, but none of that glorious sunlight spilled into our newsroom. Our windows are very high, and the blinds have been down for as long as anyone on the news staff can remember. It was almost like they builders of the Globe were afraid reporter
