Let's get it on!!


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)

Tuesday, Thursday,Friday Martial arts

Wednesday night youth group at church

Redneck Saturday night (fun for the whole family!)

Church Sunday morning, teaching Sunday night,

40 hrs at work,

On call during foul weather,

I'm wore out just listing this!

I can go on and on, ( and I will). If any of this sounds interesting to you, check back,(leave a comment, It makes me feel justified in spending the time to write!)

and enjoy your life!

you know, reading over your confession of a dull life with little scheduled I got to thinking, perhaps you should consider doing something constructive with your time? With all of those free hours left, (sleep is obviously wasteful... otherwise there wouldn't be such a market for legal speed sold in the form of extra large canned beverages) you should consider volunteering... maybe sewing blankets for orphaned children.... bake cookies for veterans. the possibilities are endless...

In all honesty though, Mr. Daring, remember to slow down and take a little time for you. (other than redneck saturdays, which my daughter believes we should begin- this making it a national event.) Even superhero's like you need down time...

Facebook is so much easier...when you "like" you push a button. However I do like to see your thoughts and your ramblings and your take on things in such fine form. Please keep truckin'.

It is far to late at night for me to conjour something witty.

I agree with Misty though, you really should volunteer to bake cookies or sew baskets. You need just one more thing... :P

So are you saying your addicted to needing validation and affirmation? Just in case that be the case. God has the ultimate plan for that "He loves You and Jesus proved it" don't self medicate get the plan. Love yah

I always found self diaries a little self indulgent and almost made me feel far too self introspective to be comfortable.. but you pull it off. perhaps a how to on the vetran cookie bake is in order?
