Another exciting post

Hey one and all and welcome to another riveting blog entry by me. News today is that I decided to stay in Lansing and go to school rather than Grand Rapids.....reason? Because it is so much cheaper for one and for two I got an offer from my employer I coulnd't refuse. I'm still interested in the "ministry", but the question is to what capacity. I've been thinking a lot lately about the whole "religious system" (here it is in quite a long digression; Graduate high school, dick around for awhile "feel" "God's call", go to collage, get into massive amounts of debt, go to seminary, get into more massive amount of debt, graduate, get "employeed" by a "church", and spend the rest of your life providing religious goods and services to the masses of "consumer Christianity") and how that compares with just "being" the church in everyday life. Caring for the poor, helping your neighbors, gathering with friends to discuss theology over beer, and mucho other stuff is what I think I would like to do. Now how to go about it is the other question. I realize there is space within the contemporary church structure for "pastors", "priest's" etc. to change things but I don't think I'm domesicated enough to be one of those people, God bless'em. Anyway that's whats on me mind. If the one person reading this has any advice I would gladly accept. If there is no one reading this then, God please e-mail me your thoughts on this subject. Well until next time, "kick the tires and light the fires"
