Me and the Bishop

IMG_2918

Those of you who have been reading my blog over the summer have seen a great deal about my motorcycle travels and my following the Trail of the Whispering Giants. A big part of that story has been my travels with my friend Matt Riegel, who for years has been the campus Lutheran chaplain at West Virginia University.  The month before we left on our annual summer motorcycle trip, Matt was elected as the ELCA bishop of the West Virginia – western Maryland synod.  This last weekend, in a beautiful church service, he was installed to his office.  I was fortunate enough to be able to fly out for the weekend from central Nebraska to join my friend (and many other friends) for this special day.

This is not a blog for discussion of my own religious beliefs and practices, so let me just send warm wishes to my friend and give “the rest of the story” for those of you following along at home.
