====================

I spent the weekend in Nashville with over 80 campus ministers, pastors, and chaplains from across the country. It was both exhilarating and exhausting -- and I'm excited to be back on campus. The weekend left an impression on me -- there are so many thoughts, memories, and lyrics dancing across my mind. I've heard more stories than I can recount of how God is loose in the world, and of how love and grace are powerful forces that are literally transforming the world. I'm excited about all the possibilities for this community at GMU. God is at work here.

Dear God, it's unsettling to think of how powerful love is. Be with us as we live out amidst our questions. Allow us to swim in your grace. Move us with your spirit. Transform us and use us to transform the world. AMEN.

Tuesday 4/8: Pride Alliance discussing spirituality, religion, and meaning-making within the LGBTQA community

Friday 4/18 - Sunday 4/20: MALSM RETREAT
====================

I just finished spending a lot of time doing a long delayed redesign of our website (I'm still cleaning up the typos). Some of you haven't met me in person yet, so I'd like to share a quick blurb about myself: My name is Ben and I'm a sinner. I live a life full of high points and low points. I try to live in tune with God, but I often find myself marching to my own beat. Despite this, I live in the joy that I am loved and claimed by God and welcomed home by a wonderful wife who accepts me in all of my oddity. For more on me, explore the website.

Martin Luther described Christians as "simultaneously saint and sinner". As Lutherans, we believe that saints are forgiven sinners -- nothing more or less than that. Being a saint isn't about following all the rules, it is about who I am in the eyes of God -- is't about relationship to God. It doesn't mean that we aren't still sinners, but that our sins are covered with the righteousness of Christ. This is part of the context behind Martin Luther's saying "Be a sinner, and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice more boldly still!" (translations vary)

This doesn't mean we don't try to live in tune with God. We seek to love God and neighbor, to show mercy and forgiveness, to care for Creation, and more! Yet in all of that, we know that what we are doing isn't about being "good enough" to earn anything -- we are loved and accepted by God for being who we are. We are forgiven sinners.

Dear Lord, Thank you for loving and accepting us. We seek to do your will so that we might grow closer to you. Help us to listen for your voice -- to understand what you are calling us to do. AMEN.

Upcoming Events -- March 27, 2008

We won't be meeting for the "Gospel According to the Simpsons" this Friday. I'm out of town and I couldn't get a room anyway. It woudl be great if we could get a few more people to help out with NOVACO on Monday -- it will be so much better if you're there with us. Also, check out the MALSM retreat info -- are you interested in a free retreat that will be awesome? Finally, consider applying to be a Peer Minister next year -- talk to me about it if you are trying to figure out if it is a good fit for you.


Details on all this stuff below:
====================
Thursday 3/27: TABLE TALK with United College Ministries
Thursday 3/27: JESUS: PROPHET OF ISLAM - sponsored by GMU MSA
Friday 3/28: WHERE DO I GO NOW GOD - United College Ministries
Saturday 2/29: Fixing up an estate for SAMARITAN WOMEN
Monday 3/31: Playing with kids to serve NOVACO
Friday 4/4: Gospel According to the Simpsons
Thursday 4/10: Peer Ministry applications due
Thursday 4/10: With One Voice event on campus
Friday 4/18 - Sunday 4/20: MALSM retreat
====================


Sometimes, life feels crazy and hectic. We get so busy that we feel like we don't have time for God. Sometimes we have to make time. It's not that God won't love us either way, but that we won't feel whole and at peace while running around cut off from God. Both time alone with God and time together as a community are important as we seek to grow spiritually.


Dear God, please help us to find time to spend with you, away from the chaos of our daily lives, and help us to experience your presence abiding with us and moving among our community. AMEN.

This is "Holy Week" -- the time in the church calendar when we process the days leading up to and including the crucirfixion of Jesus the Christ and columinating in the celebration of his resurrection on Easter morning.

This is one of the ways that God shows us how deep his love for us is.

Lord, this week we stumble to the foot of the cross. We humble ourselves before you as Jesus humbled himself. We desire to be vessels of Your love to the world around us. AMEN.
