It was a great week to be a student at Luther Seminary. The beautiful fall weather is enough to make anyone smile. Our God is an amazing Creator! Luther Sem. was also hosting the 2nd Annual Celebration of Biblical Preaching Conference, so not only did I get to hear some amazing preachers, but there was also free coffee in the student center all week long! Amazing.
Karoline Lewis, a Luther professor who is on sabbatical, gave a great presentation on Biblical preaching that my class Telling the Story attended. She looked at the John text 13:23 where the beloved disciple is leaning on Jesus' bosom. Then she showed how the same Greek word was used to show the relationship between the Father (God) and the Son (Jesus). Then she made the comparison of how close God holds us to God's heart. It was really beautiful!
Karoline also read this spunky poem, which I could not copy and paste, but you can look up: http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/126.html
Enjoy the beautiful weather!
Psalm 8:3-4
When I look at your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have established;
what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?
