Significant Pursuit by Renaissance Guy

About

     I am a Renaissance Guy in the sense that I know a little about a lot. 

     I am a teacher with a B. A. and an M. A. in English.  I know, I’m some people’s worst nightmare. 

     I am an amateur musician with eclectic taste in music.  I play the piano and the guitar.  I listen mostly to classical, jazz, folk, and bluegrass, but I will listen to any music if it is good.

     I am a husband and father, currently between 40 and 50 years old. 

     Most importantly I am a follower of Jesus the Messiah.  My spiritual journey has lots of interesting twists and turns.

      I write about all the things I am most interested in–literature, spirituality, music, history, genealogy, and politics. 

     The picture at the top of the front page is a detail from a painting by Grant Wood called Stone City.

    Hello! Thank you very much for your comment on my blog! I totally agree with it. Anyways I also think Pascal’s argument is useful to show skeptics that believing in God is a reasonable choice that they should at least consider. From there they can move on.
    Thanks again, and God bless you!! Hope to see you around again!

    I know Phil. I ate sushi with him in Nashville during GMA. He is a right nice guy.

    Anyway, you have an interesting blog…

    RG: Have you heard of “The Shack?” A wildly popular piece of fiction? I just did one of the 5 negative reviews out of 200 or so on Amazon and wonder if anyone else with some degree of theological sophistication has come accross it. Let me know.

    Greetings,

    I am a graduate student at the University of Texas and I am inquiring about using an image which was on your organization’s webpage. The following address has a clip art image of a child reading a book out and I am inquiring about using this image one time for a school presentation about parenting.

    Please let me know if I am able to use this image and how you would like me to acknowledge the author in the credits page of my presentation. If there is another person I should contact about this matter, please let me know.

    Thanks for your time.
