Playing Catch Up...

It's been a while, so I'll catch you up on the going on's in the life of Ron:

- Getting ready to write papers and take finals. One of my papers is going to be called, "The Kingdom is at Hand and You Won't Believe Who's There". It will be about who is really "in" the kingdom of Heaven. If you have any resources, I would like to borrow them. So far I have Kraybill's "the upside down kingdom", McLaren's "the secret message..." (would like to use "generous orthodoxy" if you have it), and some Gustavo Gutierrez writings.

- Writing more papers. One on the verse, "Be Still and know that I am God": is it a meditation, or is God speaking out against the war that is going on? Another on Kierkegaard (the shizness), and one that's due next week on something that I have no idea what to write about.

- Signed up for classes. Summer classes will be 1)Moral Christian Theology and 2)Digital Recording. Fall Classes will be 1) Catholic Spirituality in the Modern World, 2) Contemporary Christianity, 3) Developing a Christian Worldview, 4)Sociology of Religion, 5) Popular Physics and 6) Basketball.

- After taking these classes, my chances of graduating in december are good to great.

- Going through the rocky quintology before I watch Rocky Balboa again. Also watching scrubs through netflix.

- listening to Van Morrison. Why didn't anybody tell me about this guy before...well one of my prof's did, but he's kind of a tool.

- Will be planting Roosevelt Community Church on Easter. A day of new beginnings and liberation. Free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty we're free at last.

- trying to get in shape again. Lost 15 pounds in a month. It's my once a year thing I do. I'll probably stop at the end of the summer again only to start again in the new year.

How are you doing?

funny how one thing leads to another. First I found Sam, then you and really liked what you have to say. I sat through the waves and became calmer, calmer and calmer. Perhaps I should have watched the Mormons first, but it didn't work out that way.

You seem to be an inspiration to me lately too, giving me hope and a desire to continue in the direction I am beeing led. I tell myself if Ron can do it, so can I. Thank you for that! ...and Van Morrison is awesome.

Am also glad RCC is now free, free FREE
