Seek First the Kingdom | Awake the Dawn
https://dclotfelter.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/seek-first-the-kingdom
A blog of messy faith. Seek First the Kingdom. November 15, 2010. Richard Foster Kierkegaard Matthew 6:33. 8220;Simplicity itself becomes idolatry when it takes precedence over seeking the kingdom. In a particularly penetrating comment on this passage of Scripture, Søren Kierkegaard considers what sort of effect could be made to pursue the kingdom of God. Should a person get a suitable job in order to exert a virtuous influence? His answer: no, we must. Once again the answer is a resounding: no, we are.

What I Might Say If We Bumped Into Each Other | Awake the Dawn
https://dclotfelter.wordpress.com/2011/03/05/what-i-might-say-if-we-bumped-into-each-other
A blog of messy faith. What I Might Say If We Bumped Into Each Other. March 5, 2011. Being an RA has been challenging. I’m fortunate to have been given a fantastic group of men, but the responsibility and expectations of the job as well as the isolation of the position has forced me to confront myself and my own inadequacies and insecurities more intensely than I have up to this stage in my life. I feel I have grown as a person as a result. 8230; enjoying being a musician. 8230; listening to The Suburbs.

At the question and answer session, he had an opportunity to address a few theological issues, but it soon turned into an emotional appeal for understanding between LGBT and straight members of our community. There are a couple things I want to say about the whole thing. To ask ourselves “Where does Scripture stand? Theological uncertainty among students on this issue. Every LGBT member who went to the microphone “respectfull...Larr; W...

Supporting our Leaders | Awake the Dawn
https://dclotfelter.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/supporting-our-leaders
A blog of messy faith. October 14, 2010. It seems that the Christian way is not to lower the standards, but to extend grace. Yes the standards are high, so high in fact that nobody could possibly attain it. The standard is nothing short of perfection; perfect reverence, perfect obedience, perfect love; and God’s not willing to simply relax it. But he forgives. He offers grace. He offers compassion and understanding. And he offers companionship. It’s a Jersey thing…). 8230; listening to. The Sun Also Rises.

A Concern about Potter’s Clay | Awake the Dawn
https://dclotfelter.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/a-simple-question
A blog of messy faith. A Concern about Potter’s Clay. March 11, 2011. Westmont has been going on for over 40 years, but it’s not just us tons of churches in the United States go there regularly as well. When so many of us go down to spend a week doing rapid construction jobs and playing soccer with the kids, are we really helping the locals create a sustainable economy, or is this more about us? 8230; overwhelmed by the footage of the devastation caused by the earthquake/tsunami in Japan.

Something New | Awake the Dawn
https://dclotfelter.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/something-new
A blog of messy faith. August 10, 2010. Tonight is the last night of summer vacation. Tomorrow I return to Westmont and begin RA training (and my senior year). Some things I’m thankful for:. Living in Santa Barbara with 7 of the most upstanding guys I know. Their love for God and their passion for his kingdom was infectious. Dating a girl whose quiet strength, soft heart, and passion for life continues to inspire and encourage me. Guinevere, who condescended to allow us to stay in her(his) apartment.

LMS | Much Ado About Nothing
https://lmsequeira8.wordpress.com/author/lisamichellesequeira
Much Ado About Nothing. My thoughts on life, the world, and other random tangents. Lent is absolutely one of my favorite liturgical seasons in the Catholic Church. It’s a time for prayer and reflection, opening our eyes to our own lives as well as the wider community in the world. It has taken me a while to figure out, but I finally know what I am giving up and doing extra. The overall goal is to have that sacrifice while also becoming more in tune with my faith and the world.
