New Site, New Era
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone around the world that have been tuning in to my blog page here on blogspot. Having said that, I wanted to make a very crucial announcement.
I officially have my website under way and moving forward, all posts I make here will send you directly to my posts on my official site at rongunz.wix.com/home
It took some serious thought and prayer to make this decision, given that I want to simplify the direction of information.
Sincerely,
Ron Gunz

From Father to Son -- and other things.
I have been addicted to the song Father to Son by Queen off their Queen II album. The other day I decided, on my lunch break, to do some shopping for my daughter when it finally hit me -- that I was a total brat a douche for complaining about my dad on a regular basis. Many times we go off believing that our parents are talking out of their rear ends and that they don't understand us. While they may not understand our present states of mind but they seem to be on the money when it comes to what will lie ahead.
I am now a doting father as well. I look after my daughter, hold her in my arms, play with her, talk to her and watch her sleep as I jam out on my guitars. In essence, aside from the obvious things that make me my own individual, I have become very similar to my dad -- and that's not a bad thing.
I learned the character of loyalty, respect, honor and responsibility. All the good that I do and know, I owe it to him.
In other news, I'm 8/11 complete with mixing Where My Voice Cannot Speak. As I get closer to finishing, I realize how much work I actually put into it and while I do everything with my own sources, there's a sense of pride in that. I'm also excited in doing my second album since I now have a 3rd guitar in my lineup, as well as a microphone to finally do some singing again.

Death is true worship
This theme came upon my mind. It just simply did as my wife was helping out with moving some things while baby was having some great grandparenting time. No reason in particular -- the theme just popped in my head.
The first thing that comes to mind is John the Baptist. He said, "He must increase but I must decrease" (John 3.30 ESV) Paul said, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1.21 ESV) and Jesus said, "Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 10.39 ESV).
Soaking all of this in gives me the conclusion that in the Christian life, it is the art of dying that brings life. This involves, many times, forsaking a self-serving and self-preserving mentality and dear God is it a pain! Yes, I am very open about my feelings on it because it is nuts.
What I find funny is that most Christian friends I have known don't like the notion of death -- crosses (Christ and others died on it), stakes (some claim Christ died on that instead), death metal, images of death abroad seem frowned upon yet the irony that in order to truly show loyalty to Christ and His Father's majesty all encircles the personal death of self. Mankind, most often than not, is always pinpointing its desires, agendas and goals upon itself, no so much on the other.
Let's be real -- we are in a self-centered way of living and the thought of not living for self isn't all that great for some. Yet it is in this loving of one another, the intent of showing God's kingdom by loving your neighbor that we begin to live -- and this world is already tilting on its head due to its unwillingness to surrender this one track, self-centered, self-destructive state of mind.

Letting Bitterness Die! How I dropped the habit of grudges.
I have been trying to wrap my head around the whole notion of fatherhood and marriage changing your life, mainly because I felt that despite all changes, I still felt very much the same. I guess you can say that after these past three months, I have to admit I have realized the difference.
There have been people, of which I'll never name, that I felt have either ditched me, backstabbed me or just downright left me hanging with a false sense of support. For years, I had it buried in my heart and dancing in the back of my head. When you look at the smiles of your wife and daughter when you come home from a long day at work or when you wake up in the morning, you realize that there are far more important things in your life now than the energy-consuming, soul-sucking things known as hatred, bitterness and grudges.
There's a Bible verse that I read today that reminded me of this. It's in Ephesians 4.31-32, "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you".
With a wife as an anchor, of which you can depend on as support, floatation of love God has placed by your side and a daughter that reflects the wonderful elements of you and your spouse, all that crap in your head begins to mean nothing anymore. Lorimer is a intense reminder of that as well.
It isn't an easy process either. It's like changing a diet in a spiritual sense -- you're used to all the junk you love to eat but deep down you know it is downright bad for you, thus needing to replace with healthier alternatives and by God is it difficult. Cheesecake and I are like Winnie the Pooh and Hunny! Overtime, though, through solid discipline and healthy means of activity, you unlearn those things no matter how long it takes. I say this because overnight sudden changes are slim -- slimmer than a Slim Jim.
