Why Start a Blog?

In a world that is every increasing to be more technologically advanced with facebook, twitter, and myspace the next logical tool is a blog. It may think I'm not being completely truthful but I'm not starting a blog because everyone else has one....please believe me. Ok, If thats not convincing enough I'll tell you the story.

Here it is, for the first time in my life since I was 13 years old I don't have a job. Wow it looks funny even writing that. You have to explain that ever since I was able to I worked. I have worked all kinds of jobs and up to 3 jobs at the same time. It all started with the original Playstation. I longed and yearned for it soooo bad. No one on my block had it and my parents would not buy it for me. In true old school fashion they said "get a job boy and then talk to be about spending 200 dollars on game." Well I did just that and worked all summer. At the end of the summer, I saved enough to be the first in my neighborhood to have a Playstation. I was the man (until something new came out- Dag on Sega Saturn). Since then I have always had a job until right now. I worked at my former job for 3 years and learned a lot. I went to seminary and earned my MDiv. while I worked. It was tough but rewarding. 

Well now I have my MDiv and am looking on to the future. My job was secure but I felt that I was being lead to step out. I made the decision to go to seminary for one more year and was blessed to be accepted into Princeton Seminary. I begin to look for the right ministry opportunity in the NYC area and thought that I had the right one lined up. As a result of several circumstances, ( that I will blog about later) I felt God positioning me away from what seemed to be a slamdunk ministry position. Now, I find myself for the first time since I was 13 at home throughout the week. So until I start school again or  full time ministry I decided to blog. I thought I love reading other peoples blogs and I have an opinion why not.  So thus the birth of this little discourse on my interest faith, politics and culture. 

Thanks for stopping by!!!!
