Beginning Something New

Let me start this off by being completely honest. There is one reason, and one reason only, that I am writing a blog. Her name is Cristen. About six and a half years ago I had the good sense to marry this amazing young lady and to this day she pushes me to be the best that she believes I can be. For some reason, that means that I need to type out some of the things I think about and publish them online for all the world (or at least the five or so people she'll remember to tell about this) to read. Cristen made me promise to publish a non-movie article at least once in every calendar week so, that's what you can expect. So, because I love her and want to make her happy, here we go.

This blog will have two main topics. First, the state of the Christian church in America from my perspective as well as random musings on my own spiritual journey. Second, because I am something of a film lover, I will be reviewing movies that I watch. Some new, some old, some good, some bad but that's what I'll be posting on here. The views on both topics will be unapologetically my own while at the same time attempting to be sensitive to any who might read them. I am a white, male, Christan with a background in philosophy and Theology. I also dabble in psychology and issues of race and culture.

For those of you brave souls who do chose to subject yourselves to reading my posts I want to say a few things. First, thank you! I know you have many other options of things to read, thank you for choosing mine. Second, I love feedback and welcome all comments, positive or negative and even more than comments I adore questions. Feel free to ask questions of any kind, on topic or off, personal or theoretical. I will do my best to answer. I don't claim to have THE answer but I will endeavor to provide AN answer.

I think that'll about do for an introduction. If I think of anything else I'll add it later. Maybe I'll go ahead and post a real article now. Or, maybe not, I love procrastination... :c)
