This is the first time we've done this. We decided to go in together with St. John's Lutheran Church in Burns, Tenn., to do satellite preaching in area homes.

It became the Clearwater Lutheran.

And we want to serve all the families moving into the Spring Hill-Thompson's Station area.

We like the idea of home devotions. They will be more teaching than preaching.

For my confirmation, I didn't get a watch and my first pair of long pants, like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make the best gift.

This is our first investment in home control and automation. Its time has come, the market is ready.
