Where I’m Going from Here
In my last post, I announced that I will no longer be pursuing full-time Christian ministry as my career. Instead, I plan to return to school in January to begin work on my RN license, and from there finish pre-med and go on to med school. I think that I’m most likely going to end up being an oncologist.
Now, those who know me know full well that career paths with me change quite a bit. One day, I’m going to be a doctor, another day I’m going to be a fireman. I truly have no idea what I’m going to be when I grow up. That’s why writing was such a great path for me: most writers don’t know what they’re going to be when they grow up, either. The bottom line is that medicine is my path now, but that may change depending on what happens.
It makes me feel good that Mike from Geocreationism has expressed some concern that this new path means that my blog might be abandoned. Everyone can rest assured that this is not the case. In fact, I fully intend to continue this blog indefinitely, even once I’m a world-famous oncologist. (joke)
I love doing this blog, and I can’t see a life without Christian apologetics. God has placed this burden in my heart for a reason, and I intend to keep this blog regardless of any other career path that I follow.
In the next couple of days, I will post my final response to Dave Armstrong about the Vicar of Christ fiasco. I don’t care if he responds to it. He was already less than thrilled with my side piece on how “vicar” does not mean “disciple.” Though I suspect that it has less to do with my actual argument and more to do with venting that his writing style lacks professional polish.
For what it’s worth, Dave, I’m reading a book for review right now that has me longing for your writing. You may be long winded and full of too much fluff, but you’re at least organized and present the topic. This other guy, well, he’s not organized and doesn’t know how to present the topic–at all. I’ve never read a nonfiction book that begins in media res. That’s enough to make a person shudder.
After my long-awaited response to the Vicar of Christ “paper,” I will continue to pick apart Jeff Haws’s errors on homosexuality. In between, I’ll also respond to the beautiful but misguided Elizabeth Schmitz’s ridiculous position that Ruth and Naomi were lesbian lovers. By that time, I should have the aforementioned review completed. I might make book reviews a new staple of the website.
So, despite my total change in career direction, and my new family responsibilities, I still have a full plate planned for this website. I hope that everyone will stay along for the ride.
