Ok so I am back here at LTSS after a long break (5 weeks!). It was a great break but especially after seeing my grades ( P is for pastor) I was ready to get back here and start classes. By far this week has been the best in my very green seminary career. My classes consist of History 2, Intro to Preaching, Pastoral Conversations, Greek, Confessions, Theo of Martin Luther and Liturgical Song Practicum. Either I am ambitious in my goals here or a glutton for punishment! The semester is going to be a rigorous with Greek, Preaching and Theo of Martin Luther but this is what I have been waiting for. My interest has spiked while sitting in these three classes especially with a little more confidence behind me. I am truly embarking on new adventures this semester. For starters I am getting the chance to dive into the theology in which the Lutheran Church is centered and what its effect has especially on me as a modern day Lutheran. The next great adventure that I have the chance to set foot on is preaching. Now I have preached before in a lay atmosphere in front of small groups from youth to young adult ministries but never in a formal calling of the public ministry of the church. I am excited but also affraid at the same time. I simply asked for prayers and hope I have the courage to take these chances by the horns and make the most out of them.
Peace,
Jason
