Midterms, Spring Break Plans, so much to do...

We are so busy on so many levels and there is so much going on: mid-terms, spring break plans, graduation plans, summer jobs or internships, relationships, friends, etc. We can easily get knocked off center as peripheral issues demand our attention: “Crap, my computer is screwing up.” Where is the center? In study and work it is asking: 1) whether we are fairly good at something, 2) whether we enjoy it, and 3) whether it serves real human and environmental needs? If so, sounds like a viable career path.

In spiritual things, Lutherans answer: get back to the reality of God’s love, mercy, forgiveness and empowering Spirit in Jesus Christ. There really is a power greater than ourselves that we can trust and center our lives in. Yet this is more than power: it is personal relationship with God in Christ, with one who loves and frees us, for the healing of this world. Keep that Center when you get busy, are challenged, find things easy or find things tough: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God……we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works…..” (Ephesians 2: 8-10)
