Thirty-years ago on this date, I was confirmed in my faith at Christ Lutheran Church in Eagan, MN. Today, I heard from Concordia Theological Seminary and I was accepted.

Today is in effect my new Confirmation day. Wow! when I think back at the beginning of all this I can't believe that we are finally at the finality of it all. This will change my whole life.

For many young people this next couple of weeks will be a time of reaffirmation of faith. They will tell everyone in their confirmation that they believe in one-baptism for the remission of sins. That is what Confirmation is all about, giving affirmation that you now believe that your baptism was done by God. That through his word and the water you were saved (1 Ptr 3:22)

I know that I have much to learn at sem. Satan doesn't want me there and he will do all he can to disrupt my learning process. But I have an ace in the hole. I have Jesus Christ the Son of God on my side. I ask all who read this to pray everyday that God will give me strength that day to get through whatever obstacles Satan tries to put in my way. Pray that God will open my ears to learn, but at the same to measure what I hear against his word.

Soli Deo Gloria
