What I Believe

After having praised my wife I thought that I should let you know just what I believe.

1. I am a "born-again" follower of my Lord Jesus Christ.
2. I believe that the Bible is the holy, inspired, infallible, complete word of G_d.
3. I believe that Jesus is the Son of G_d and he came to earth to die and be resurrected in order to provide a way for G_d's holy justice to be satisfied, and restore us to a living and loving relationship with the creator of the universe.
4. I believe that G_d is still at work on this planet doing as He wills through His children, including the working of miracles.

These things although basic (and will get covered more at length in the future) are my foundation. All other things are debatable as to how the Word is interpreted.

Now politically my beliefs have changed quite a bit over the past year. A year ago I would have told you that I was a staunch republican. After examining what I believe, I cannot say that I am a republican any longer. I am very conservative, and I lean more towards the libertarian each day. Basically I believe in a very small federal government and a small independent state government as well. A man should be allowed to live his life as he sees fit without interference unless what he is doing infringes on another man's rights.

Far Above Rubies

G_d has blessed me with the perfect woman. She is more than I could have ever expected, or quite frankly deserve. Fifteen years ago she came out of the blue, I did not expect her to be the one G_d had in mind for me. I was quite content to be single for some time, mostly because I just did not hit it off very well with the fairer sex, and while I was in school I was more interested in my grades than finding a girlfriend.

G_d put her in my path and my whole world changed. She has challenged me to grow, helped me be a better man, and encouraged me in my struggles to ensure my children of their fathers love. She has done more than this over the years that I have made hard on her and quite frankly she is a saint. She has done much with the meager earnings that I bring in and made our house a home. She has sacrificed much to educate our children and I for one am quite grateful.

She is the love of my life and the only woman for me. I look forward to growing old with her.

An Introduction

I have been lurking out there on the bloggesphere for little over a year now and after some discussion with my lovely wife “Birdie” I have decided to start my own blog. Now I don’t expect there will be great pearls of wisdom coming from my corner over here but I do have my own opinions. Keep in mind they are my opinions. I have been known to be wrong from time to time, and I am willing to admit when I am wrong, but I will fight fiercely for those things I KNOW to be true.

I am a Christian home schooling dad of four wonderful children, who will be known on this blog a Ditto, Pookie, Sneefert (don’t ask), and Puddleglum. I am politically conservative bordering on libertarian.

I am first and foremost a believer and follower of my Lord Jesus Christ. I will brook no abuse of His name on my blog. This is cause for being banned for good without warning. Any other crude or profane language will receive a warning and if it persists I will ban that individual. I know this seems harsh but I wish for my children to be able to read this blog and I wish to keep it family friendly. As long as the language is kept clean I will hear any argument or dissenting voice, weigh what you have to say and then tell you are flat out wrong.
