For better or for worse, here we go...

Another blog to clutter up the infinite world wide web, I suppose.

Oh, well….Here we go.

I am starting this blog for one reason and one reason only:  I can’t help it.  Paul claimed in 2 Corinthians “I believed, and so I spoke.”  As such, I can’t keep quiet any longer.  I may currently be a recruit firefighter, but I am and will always be a minister at heart.  When I left vocational ministry back in 2009, I vowed to be ‘silent’ for a time.  That time is now over, I’m afraid.

I am currently, technically, unemployed.  Well, I am indeed “employed”, I just don’t get paid for what I do.  I am a recruit firefighter with the Southwest Adams County Fire and Rescue Dept., a small department in north Denver just under Westminster in unincorporated Adams County.

I used to be a vocational minister, with nearly 10 years of experience.  I have 3 masters degrees, one in education, one in “religion” and one in theology.  Of course this makes me the odd bird on our engine crew when I am on shift.  I will turn 37 at the end of October.  Technically I am too old to be doing what I am doing.  To say the least, I am an average ‘rookie’ firefighter/EMT at best, but other than being a minister, I can’t imagine doing anything else.
