Who are you?

"A dangerous question. There's never a good answer." --Lorien, Babylon 5

Like many of us, I'm seeking the answer to the question, "Who are you?". Hence the title of my blog.

The basics:

• I received my B.S. in physics from the University of Dayton in 1994, and my M.S. in physics from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1998.
• I worked for the Transportation Security Administration, from 2002 to 2005, as a screener at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
• I joined the United States Air Force in September 2005, and was commissioned in December 2005. I was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant in December 2007.
  

Seeking:

• I joined the Episcopal Church in September 2004, and I was baptized at the Great Vigil of Easter, 26 March 2005.
• I feel a call from God to the priesthood, and specifically to service in the military chaplaincy. I have been exploring that call since May 2006.
• I'm almost 1/3 of the way through the M.Div. program at United Theological Seminary.
  
• I am about to be deployed to Iraq.

My primary aim for this blog is to record my spiritual journey in preparation for, during, and after, my deployment as I continue to explore God's call to me. To that end, a lot of this blog will be spiritual/religious in nature.

I also aim to record, to a certain extent, my physical journey for my friends. To that end, the balance of this blog will likely describe my personal life as I travel away from them for a one-year deployment.
