Dear Friends,
For the past two years, Higher Things has been pleased to provide daily Reflections on our website for college students, youth, and their families. These Gospel devotions have been the hard work of volunteer writers and editors and centered everything we do on the internet around Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Freely they have been given and freely they have been received.
It has been given to me as the Internet Services Executive to oversee the writing and editing of these Reflections. This task has been one of the most enjoyable parts my work as the executive. But due to the great expansion of our website, it is time to pass this wonderful task to a far more gifted pastor and a dear friend of mine, Pastor Mark Buetow.
The Reverend Mark Buetow received his Master of Divinity in 1998 but stayed at the seminary to get his Masters of Sacred Theology in 2000 from Concordia Seminary. He serves Bethel Lutheran Church in Du Quoin, Illinois. He has been married to Susan for 13 years and they have three children (twins Naomi and Anna and Emily). In his free time, Pastor Buetow enjoys playing strategy and boardgames is responsible for getting me addicted to Linux.
We are very excited to have Pastor Buetow involved in Higher Things.
In Christ,
Rev. George F. Borghardt III
Internet Services Executive
Higher Things, Inc.
