After High School

My life goals prior to my Junior Year of High School changed when I was nominated to go to the American Legion Boy's State the summer between my Junior and Senior year. I was reminded that attending Boy's State counted towards possible admission to a Service Academy. Short story long, I ended up being accepted and attending the United States Military Academy at West Point.

So attending ORU and going into the ministry was swapped for attending West Point and starting a military career. That did not dampen my Christian faith. 



Both my roommate's comments describing me as well as my activities listed above my picture, you can see that I was deeply involved in Christian activities. Besides the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) the remainder of my activities were Christian based. The UN Council was supposed to be the VN or Vida Nueva Council which was a retreat held twice a school year. I attended it all four years and my Junior and Senior year I was responsible for organizing and running two of the male retreats along with a Protestant Chaplain. My Junior year I lead the second retreat of that school year while the Senior Male Co-Chairman assisted me and then my Senior year I ran the first retreat of the school year while assisting the Junior cadet that was taking over my position the next year. OCF stood for Officer Christian Fellowship and I was obviously a Protestant Sunday School teacher for the first three years teaching Sunday School to the Officer and Enlisted Soldier's children who were stationed at West Point.

September - Discharge, Training & 30th Class Reunion

Image
Jeffery Voigt and Unofficial Best Beard Class of 1987 30th Reunion Photo courtesy of Jeffery Voigt The month of September was a busy time for me so I was not able to post. I wanted to share what happened.  I found most of the documentation I needed to request my discharge be upgraded. I scanned in all of the documentation and sent it off to the Outserve/SLDN (Servicemembers Legal Defense Network) in hopes that they could help me. Included were the letters of recommendations from the Brigade Commander, Deputy Brigade Commander and Division Commander of the unit that I was attached too during the Persian Gulf War. It was after the fighting over that my discharge was initiated.   I contacted the former Deputy Brigade Commander and asked him if he would be willing to update his recommendation from General to Honorable Discharge . He is now a retired 4-star General and it is my hope is that his recommendation would carry some weight with the review board. Gratefully he agreed

Vocational Autobiography

Image
Early in my life, I felt a desire to help people. A set of  goals  I wrote before my Junior year of high school demonstrates my desire. The goals included not only included scoring a touchdown in football, running a specific time for the 220-yard and 100-yard dashes, and maintaining my grades; I wanted to attend Oral Robert University (ORU) to become a minister by 1989. Based on the example of the United Methodist minister and Iliff graduate who lead the churches I remember attending, I felt a ‘calling’ to serve others. I enjoyed volunteering for various activities within the church, including serving as an usher as a teenager.  The calling changed when I accepted Jesus into my heart as a born-again evangelical Christian. During this, I wrote the goals of attending ORU as Oral Roberts reflected both the evangelical and Methodism in my own life. Knowing my parents were incapable of saving money for retirement and my education, I had to find educational funding and a vocation to help tak

Deconstruction of my Christianity - My theological Anthropology

Image
As I discussed in  Age 24 1989  and  End of the Dream , it was difficult for me to re-type the original documents. It was difficult for many reasons. Besides the obvious grammar and spelling issues (please remember my degrees are in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, not English Literature), it was more difficult to revisit some of the worst depression I have ever experienced. This is my Theological Anthropology as written for one of my courses.  My theological anthropology is complex and brings up complicated emotions. I grew up in Southern Colorado initially on a farm south of Monte Vista. Growing up, Bowen Community United Methodist Church twelve miles south of Monte Vista represented my family's spiritual home, including paternal grandparents, and my father's older sister and family. After we lost both my grandparents and my family's farms shortly after my grandfather's death, we moved north of Monte Vista. We started to attend the Monte Vista United Met
