These accompany a home studio recording of 27 songs that I wrote while at Wartburg Lutheran Seminary during our 22 months in Iowa USA. The time included Sept 11th 2001 as well as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq about which some songs are included. There were many songs used for worship at the seminary and other congregations in various states.
