A Day in the Life

Yesterday and today you may have noticed that Luther Seminary was hosting some guests. These visitors were participating in "A Day in the Life" of Luther Seminary students. Some were in college or high school, but others were recently graduated, already working in the church, or working in a career. In some of the interactions I heard people ask, "So, you're thinking of going to Seminary?" But, after listening to Dr. Bliese speak with these folks on Sunday that seems to be an inaccurate way of talking.

The folks participating in "A Day in the Life" are, much like us, in the process of discernment. Whether we are students at seminary or not, we are in the process of learning what God has planned for us or called us to. We are called to be be called, wherever we are. Figuring out our call by listening deeply and doing is the vocational discernment that our visitors and we are engaged in. Seminary is not an end of the road, or a culmination, it is a part of the journey we are all on, with God and his children, our brothers and sisters.
