The Fall Semester is under way! I have entered my second year at Concordia Seminary St. Louis, also known as my “pre-vicarage year.” Second year studies expand on the instruction from first year and also prepare us for our third year, our vicarage year. The curriculum dives into the theological caverns but never loses sight of the surface – where theology is applied. A thorough understanding of theology is nothing without proper application. For instance, Jesus is the Son of God who takes away the sins of the world, this is theology. This message becomes Gospel when your sins are taken away through faith in Jesus who is the Son of God. You see, the Seminary grounds us in theology so that we may be faithful stewards of the Gospel in practice.
We are not alone in our studies. Many, including you, support myself and my family through your words, prayers, and treasures. God has placed each one of you to tend to our needs as we explore those theological caverns.
Our little explorers, Avin (6, 10/16/2013) and Adalyn (4, 2/29/2016) continue their education at St. Paul des Peres. Avin is a tall boy in first grade with a compassionate heart. He is always creating through an energetic imagination. Adalyn is a clever girl in a petite package who loves learning in her pre-kindergarten class. She’ll soon usurp her daddy in wisdom and rhetoric (and she knows it).
Heather has adapted to the shifting schedules and is a valued asset at St. Paul des Peres Lutheran Church as their Worship Secretary. She does all this while managing the household logistics and child transportation while I’m off “spelunking.” She is vital to this expedition.
Thank you again, for your support!
