Paul was a parish pastor from 1963
to 1994. When he
retired, he moved to San Antonio,
TX and worked in sales for
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans for five years, and then went into
business with his cousin, Dr. Lowell Grabau, also in
San Antonio. They established the
National Institute of Sports to certify and train counselors to work
with athletes. They
retired and moved to
Minnesota in 2004 to
be closer to their grandchildren. Paul enjoys reading and
walking. He says,
“Presently, I am working on a book directed at those people who have
left organized religion or have doubts about the literalness of the
Bible. The Bible does
not need to be taken literally in most
cases”.
