Things are quickly changing. No lie. I just got a phone call from my wife. She was on her way home and had to all of a sudden pull into a parking lot and blow chunks (ralph, puke, vomit, become a human volcano). Of course this comes as no shock to me seeing as Melissa (my wife) is entering into her 2nd trimester with our soon-to-be offspring.
Things are quickly changing. This semester I'm going to be taking 11 hours of course work while continuing to work full-time at the church. Most of you reading this would tell me to stop complaining and suck it up, but for those of you well versed in the land of vocational ministry and seminary you know how taxing the next few months are going to be. The beautiful result when the month of May comes calling will be my master's degree, finally attained after a few years of toiling.
Things are quickly changing. I'm embarking this year to read through the New Testament with my students. It's already been a huge challenge (we started in late 2010). I'm learning all kinds of new things about what it means to be a follower of Jesus and I'm having my face-melted (Raiders of the Lost Ark style) by several of the passages I'm reading. I'm being challenged to be more and more the person Christ calls me to be.
I think it is a fair to say that I will not leave 2011 the same as I entered it. And so we have the "Coherent Ramblog". Usually when I read through or visit someone's blog it can quickly turn into incoherent rambling. So with as much intentionality as I can muster I'm going to make this a very coherent blog and a much less ramble-ly blog.
For those who care to keep pace or read to keep up to date with the life of Ramirez then here's your chance. Until my first official post of consequence....adios!
a brief look inside the mind and thoughts of a husband, father and minister....
