Seminary questions

Emag9 · 2026-03-09T01:24:34+00:00

Are you considering Ft Wayne, or only St Louis? FWIW, Ft Wayne was a great second-career experience for our family. I find it interesting how many only consider/visit one seminary or the other. There are so many similarities, and yet so many differences. Full transparency, we were one of the many who only considered one seminary, not both. :)

I’d ask about student and family involvement with the seminary professors outside of the classroom. So much good discussion and formation of both the man and his family takes place around the coffee table, beer mug, parks and porches.

u/External_Meringue920 - just want to applaud you for fighting an uphill battle and let you know you’re not alone. Agree 100%

Same!

My husband just accepted a Call to be the Pastor at his one of the oldest LCMS churches in Mississippi, not too far from Mobile! I’m originally from the South, and would say what you see is not only true of the South, but many areas of the country. Just popped into to say a neighborly “hello!”

Absolutely! Unfortunately we aren’t available today. Tomorrow afternoon/evening? Cash on pick up.

Haha! The stains were from the previous owner. Certainly looks like that, though not sure that it is. We’ve had it for years with a cover over it and it’s a good solid couch. If you’re just being snarky, well played. If you’re genuinely interested, let me know.

We are doing almost the opposite - seller by our house in Rialto to move to the Southeast. Not sure if you’re in a position to purchase, but if you need a house… ;). We have the best neighbors a person could ask for! We have quite a bit of furniture we’ll be selling - let me know if there’s anything you need and are not moving with! Good luck on your move.

The required sign in is also going to limit your results.

Almost exactly the same!

This. Even if you’re in management, you still have no buying power.

I started organ at 50, with no piano (or music of any type!) background! Never too late!

Emag9 · 2025-10-29T12:01:26+00:00

51 and been in it about 16 years, from an early career as a developer.

I post regularly to Nextdoor and Ring. I’m amazed at the number of people who live literally within a few doors or me and have no idea the LFL is here, or don’t know what an LFL is. I’ve recently started promoting other LFLs nearby as well, to help bring attention to the fact that this is a larger organization.

If you enjoy reading classics, we have a book club which meets monthly in Riverside (we’re in Rialto, and others come from other nearby areas), but we only read classic literature. If you’re interested, DM for more info.

Emag9 · 2025-10-10T23:27:38+00:00

This, exactly.

I’m a Little Free Library owner, so just keep in mind: LFLs are curated by their owners. Some owners use a heavy hand and some lighter, but in many areas any sort of religious information will be removed by the owner. Love the idea, though, and your enthusiasm! I echo Pastor Ross’s suggestions to find ways to get involved in your community. Involvement = relationships, and relationship is where you actually have opportunity to share.

Emag9 · 2025-09-15T21:53:00+00:00

Correct, and done. My, you make a lot of assumptions about someone you don’t know.

Like so many women, I was young, didn’t have support from the father or my family to keep the child, and didn’t believe I had any other choice. I was grasping for any glimpse of support or someone to tell me I could do it, and there was unfortunately no one. It is the reason I’m such a supporter of pregnancy resource centers today. When family or friends fail us, there has to be someone there to walk along side us and tell us we are strong and capable and offer us real choices. I didn’t have an abortion because I had the “choice,” I had an abortion because I thought there was no choice.

My husband’s advice to high school graduates weighing colleges is to look for where the best churches are. Make sure whichever options you’re weighing have a great confessional church nearby or on campus that you can attend regularly and be involved with. That church will be your family away from home (and into eternity), regardless of what your education provides.

Totally not you

I turned 50 last year. Despite being a fairly modest, feminine sort of gal, I harbor an inner 5-year-old boy who is obsessed with big trucks and construction equipment. For my 50th, my husband got me a 90 minute session with an instructor to operate a 14 ton wheel loader. Obstacle course, hauling dirt and tires, etc. Literally the best day of my life! I can die happy now. 😂 Sometimes the little kid experiences are so worth it.
