I don’t believe everything I read, but below are some things I found interesting. I wish I had more time for some of them. For a few other items, click on Links in the header above. 

 

  A Little Bio

 

I am an American recently returned (July 2009) from nine years in the  U.K., living and working in and around Cardiff, Wales. I now live in Louisville, Ky. and pastor two churches. I am married to a very patient English lady.

I have two children in America, a large extended family, and an African Grey parrot, among other birds. I enjoy watching wilder things when I can.

Reading, writing, teaching, and counselling keep me busy most days.

My personal and academic interest are too co-mingled to separate. My formal education is in theology…I know…some of you will make a move now. I understand, believe me. There are many days I find it hard to stay in my own skin. If you were to look through my archives, say in “self-exams” you would see more of that than you probably need.

Anyway, the blog is what it is, a reflection of who I am and what I believe, and how I still struggle from time to time to reconcile those two things.

Let’s just say, I haven’t always been healthy. But I find peace and hope with God. Nothing else has ever given me that.

I regret or have reservations about some things I’ve written. Still, like it or not, they form a picture of who I am. Being open and honest is one of the truths I try to live by. I don’t feel real and human when I’m not. Loving transparency is core to what I believe a Christian should be.

I could say more here, but that’s really what the blog is about, me and my take on the things inside and outside of my life. For those who stay around, I hope it’s worth your time.
