A 51 year old guy who after almost 30 years of ignoring a call has decided to follow it. I'm married to Judy, my high school sweetheart, and can't imagine life without her. I have two wonderful children, Kate and Sammy who have brought great joy to my life. I am looking forward to the next step in my "faithwalk".

What's wrong at LTSS?

Its a long story but God called me to LTSS (Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary) in Columbia SC. I don't know why he sent me here because I had no interest in going south but yet here I am. I am here with people from all over who have been called by God for whatever reason.

So I'm curious. I sit in class with my fellow Lutheran Seminarians but I might be sitting between a Baptist and a Methodist. But it's a Lutheran Seminary. I consider a wonderful woman I talk with frequently a friend. She happens to be an Episcopalian. But it's a Lutheran Seminary. I've encountered Catholics. But it's a Lutheran Seminary. What's wrong at LTSS?????

We inducted our new Dean of Academic Affairs last night as part of our weekly Eucharist gathering. She happens to be a Baptist. What's wrong at LTSS?

I guess the real question would be....what's wrong elsewhere? I'm learning beside and being taught by people of different denominations. Our goal is the same. To learn about God and our faith. We may have different worship styles but it all comes from the same understanding. It's wonderful to discuss our own faith and understanding with others. It's a non threatening (for me anyway) discussion about why/how we all differ.

So, I ask again. What's wrong at LTSS? In regards to this issue, absolutely nothing.

I will follow,

Greg
