This is page about the blog of things I blog about.
Through my intensely and meticulously crafted and incredibly well-reasoned articles, I hope to cause some readers to pause and think, some to cheer in vociferous and enthusiastic agreement, aaaand others to perhaps run away shrieking with dismay while threatening some vaguely retributional action based on having read something I wrote here.
Preferably more the former than the latter, but I’ll take what I can get.
I’m a former US Marine Corps Infantry Office and Tank Commander, proud father, husband-in-training (mostly OJT), an on-again off-again writer, photographer, hiker, IT guy, fitness hack, world-traveler (ish), and a bunch of other things which are SO impressive that only my incredibly self-deprecating humility prevents me from listing them all here.
I’m unabashedly conservative, unapologetically Christian, and a Kingdom-minded ambadassador of Christ who believes that we are put here for a reason and a purpose. And that said purpose is to love and be loved by our good, kind, loving heavenly Father! And to then, by extension, share that love with those around us in ways that just defy human comprehension.
I also believe that the completely unbiblical idea of a “rapture” is just a cleverly-crafted conspiracy to get you to buy the “Left Behind” books, as well as to send money to shady TV preachers who want to save your soul, for the low, low price of $300, before Jesus comes back in fiery vengeance to destroy everything he entrusted us to steward. Or something.
But I digress.
By way of full disclosure, I tend to use way too may commas, I still tend to put two spaces after a period, and I have an incurable tendency to use big, fancy words when something eminently less garrulous and loquacious will do.
I write for me, because I love stacking words together like legos, or maybe cold cuts and cheeses on a wild charcuterie board of verbal excess. If you like the flavor of what I dish up, I’d love for you to leave a comment, or, heaven forbid, even share the post with someone else! If you don’t like the post, please feel free to leave me a pithy, witty and charming diatribe as to why as well.
However, comments as to the nature of my progeny or lineage are, however, strongly discouraged and will likely be summarily deleted.
So, welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy the ride.
With a fairly substantial amount of genuine sincerity,
