Connor meets the President......of Lutheranism.

Today Connor ran into the President of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Ran into may not be the best way to describe what happened, it was more like backed into and then tripped over his presidential feet.

Then this guy bent down, picked my son up, gave him a little hug, apologized, and asked him his name.

You can see why we call him The Stache, right? His actual title, however, is President Harrison.

After we apologized, I attempted to explain to Connor just whose feet he'd been tripping over. He was somehow less impressed than I was that we were meeting the president of the LCMS. Despite the fact that I was a little star struck, I did keep my promise to Adriane and requested her immediate return to Fort Wayne. President Harrison laughed politely, acknowledged that she does indeed miss us, said he was keeping her anyway, and then wondered off to his lunch table to do Lutheran Rock Star kinds of things.

Connor nearly collided with any number of other individuals at lunch, but we avoided any further incident. It wouldn't have mattered anyway because unless John Warwick Montgomery or Rod Rosenbladt were eating in the cafeteria without my knowledge, none of the other people there today could top meeting President Harrison. (Although, let the record show that meeting Scott Murray a couple of weeks ago was a close second).
