Often what I write about here are the connections that I see in each issue. While some of these connections are planned, others seem to just naturally occur. Take, for example, our focus on fathers for “This is WELS”—a planned set of images. What wasn’t pre-arranged was the wonderful devotion about being fathers of encouragement (which also fits perfectly with Thanks, Dad).   

I could go on, but you get the idea. You probably see your own connections, and I encourage you to look for them. Of course the biggest connection we at Forward in Christ strive to make every month is to connect you with your Savior. We pray this shines through, because it has eternal consequences.
