ForgivenOlsons: An old man, a young girl, and their Brother
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014/04/an-old-man-young-girl-and-their-brother.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Tuesday, April 15, 2014. An old man, a young girl, and their Brother. Heinz Otto Bleinagel was born into a north Prussian farm family in 1918. He shared hard physical labor with his father, mother, four brothers, and three sisters. He was hard of hearing in one ear. He didn't like corn because pigs ate it. He was a Lutheran. In Milwaukee, Heinz met Betty. Betty was a Catholic. They got engaged, and Heinz found himself taken into a room with Betty's aunt, a nun....Jordy...

ForgivenOlsons: November 2014
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Like my friend Aubri over here. Because he did that, I could make the Schnitzel Beans (bacon, onions, green beans and other top secret ingredients), the Scalloped Corn, prep the dinner rolls from the dough, and make eggs for a late brunch. I also did two loads of laundry and put away three weeks' worth of clean clothes in our room, which was completely tangential to the meal but made me feel fan-tad-tic (look! Our dresser has a top! Check-chec...

ForgivenOlsons: April 2014
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Superman, Four Years Old. April is going out like a sopping, shivering lion here in Minnesota. But we refuse to kowtow to drenching doldrums. Here, we party. Especially when we've got a birthday to celebrate! Aka The normal posed Superman face. The "Nice for Mommy" posed face. I told them to help me take some selfies. "What's a selfie? Asked Little Professor. Because he spends time reading The Magic Treehouse. As usual, I forgot to take a pictur...

ForgivenOlsons: February 2014
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Sunday, February 23, 2014. Rev Jon C. Olson. Today, Sexagesisma, some 60 days before Easter, the Church continues her preparation for a real conversion of heart and mind during the forty days of Lent. Today is about our falling away from God while God is constantly calling us back by His Word. Today is about not giving up hope in the midst of struggle, suffering and sin. You see, the Word of God is not lifeless. What a promise that is! The Word of God has the power in and...

ForgivenOlsons: Jellicle Time
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014/06/jellicle-time.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Monday, June 23, 2014. Aside from the normal excuses I give about not blogging regularly. And now I have a reason to possess a renewed respect for these aloof-yet-sophisticated animals. TS Eliot wrote a wonderful little book called Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. In the 1930s, and Andrew Lloyd Webber used it to write the blockbuster musical CATS. Which premiered in 1981. Our local theater organization, the Calumet Players. And who's involved with this production?

ForgivenOlsons: March 2014
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Spring has, um. We're still here, recovering from nearly month-long colds and various travel and busy-ness (as usual). And now that it's over five days after the beginning of spring, I want to reassure everyone that the warming season is truly upon us because (wait for it) WE CAN SEE GRASS HERE! There's still vestiges of snow on it, and it's twenty-three degrees out, but still. Where there's grass, there's hope, right? Posted by Papa Olson.

ForgivenOlsons: By Your Agony and Bloody Sweat
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014/04/by-your-agony-and-bloody-sweat.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Friday, April 18, 2014. By Your Agony and Bloody Sweat. I originally wrote this post on Good Friday two years ago (for reference, Pearly Girl was a few months old, Superman was almost two, and Little Professor was three and a half). Here it is for you on this Good Friday. For the right words when my sinful flesh cringes at the truth. I thought, why can't I just go into church and be able to sit quietly and hear your Word without interruption? I could hear the quiet murmur...

ForgivenOlsons: More than a handful: A 6th birthday for the Little Professor
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014/06/more-than-handful-6th-birthday-for.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Monday, June 30, 2014. More than a handful: A 6th birthday for the Little Professor. Last week we enjoyed an awesome day with our Little Professor, also known as our eldest son. He marked his sixth birthday, and we sure had a slam-bang time! Well, a slam-bang time for a bunch of kids six and under- and mom and dad, too. I didn't get any pics of the outdoor fun, but you can hopefully enjoy the narrative. Since he'd chosen to have those instead of red velvet cake, his earli...
