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.
