Beginnings

Yes, I am a happily married man and proud father and I have a great job and to the best of my knowledge I am well regarded as a good employee there. I'm in a good church where the Bible is preached and taught, and I am able to serve others, and I'm also satisfied with the direction that my life is heading. Sounds pretty good so far, and it is. However, it was not always this way.

Up until roughly five years ago, I was a pretty pathetic excuse for a man. I was not even that good of a husband or father for that matter. Basically, the three major aspects of what I am and who I am supposed to be, I had shot to pieces. For most of my adult life, I made bad choices left right and center, and in the process had hurt and scarred many of the people I love the most.

By God's incredible mercy and grace though, I am no longer that same life-wasting fool. For the last five years I have been walking on a different path, one that has not been an easy one to walk, but it has been proven to be a path that has certainly been worth every single step that I have taken on it. Now five years may not sound like a long time, (and I am not saying that I am living a perfect life or have all the answers), but in all honesty, if you knew me before, in my BC days, you would not be so quick to write off what I have to share.

And that, is exactly what my blogging is all about. Simply sharing what I have learned along the way. If you think you can take any of it and use that, then great, go ahead and have a go, and if you disagree with anything or everything, that's fine too. I'm expecting that to occur as what I have to share not only comes from my own personal experience but also from God and His Word, so I am certain that not everyone is going to like what they read. It is not my intention to offend anyone but undoubtedly I will, so I give my apologies now in advance.

So. Welcome to "Some things to think about," and may Jesus bless you as He has blessed me and my family.
