Ephphatha

Well, the day has finally arrived where I, along with my classmates, will find out to which region of the country we are being sent. Pretty exciting stuff- and to be honest I can't wait until it is over. I think I am almost as excited to see where my colleagues end up as I am about myself. Two and a half hours from now the wait will be over. yippee!

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about Postmodernism-since three of my classes this semester are focussing on that subject. And today was thinking about what it means for someone today to be a "prophet" in a "postmodern world". For instance, I work at a bar while attending seminary and all of the people who I work with know that I am a pastor-to-be. At some level I am called to be a prophet to them as they struggle with life as we know it. Yet, what is the message that the unchurched or the spiritual-but-not-Christian long to hear? I hope this becomes a little more clear to me this year as I work through it so that I can better serve those I encounter. Any thoughts? Please respond!
