I thought having a blog would give me a place- a forum- a symposium of all things that matter to me.
Well, apparently not.
I care about traditional values, but got tired of writing about them. I began to pander to the five people who followed my Blog and left comments. I began to crave these comments and the affirmation.
This means, after much self analysis; that what I really care about is affirmation.
Tell me I'm ok. Tell me I'm right. Tell me, Tell me, me me me.......
Once this little period of self loathing worked it's way out, I sought to relate my life.
Come to find out, I'm too busy and wore out living my life, I don't care to write about it!
But-
Mother always said I was best at brute strength and orneriness and so I persist.
In order of , well in some kind of order
I'm teaching a middle school youth class on Sunday nights. Started off with a worldview, Creation Science based study intended to give them a basis in critical thinking and a foundation for withstanding the Darwinian religion posing as fact. In a nutshell I hope they understand that, using the same scientific reasoning that gave us understanding of 'how stuff works' and other classical 'If this then that' scenarios, I hope they now understand that a belief in a creator is not on par with fairys and unicorns, or a form of sociological wish fulfillment, but rather a reasonable proposition that bears serious thought and a genuine response.
Bottom line, reader, either there is a God, or not.
Do you trust the bias of others, or do you REALLY look into it, with the same diligence you give you next car purchase, and tenacity you exhibit in pursuing you particular passion?
It matters.
It is a lot of work.
And in our society, it's a uphill, against the current, make you look like a wacko type proposition.
Having gone through all that, establishing the very concept of God as something worthy of consideration, I now proceed to expose more of the bias in Darwinian religion. This Sunday night, anomalous evidence in the fossil record, focusing on the origins of man and radio isotope dating methods.
Conclusions drawn from assumptions cannot be considered facts.
Not in research
or theory
or life.
Next is parenting my children, who are homeschooled by my wonderful, talented and long suffering wife.
Aged 15,12,9,and 7, evenly split 'tween boys and girls, I am pretty much lost most of the time. Workin on it. Always.
Speaking of work, I am blessed with stability and opportunity. I am more richly blessed with a Christian brother and the ability to constantly, daily, work out our salvation (and misconceptions!).
Too much yard work, a lot of gardening, not enough to farm, chickens and their eggs all of this is supposed to make us more self sufficient, so far it seems to cost a lot of money.
nothing like a fresh laid egg for breakfast though!
On top of all this ( and More) there is my pursuit of a Black belt in Tae Kwon do. This is a major exercise in perseverance. 'Nuff said.
So-
Monday night sewing club (for the girls)

Wednesday night youth group at church
