: About Me

My name is McCauley, and I am definately in process. I am in process of being transformed into the likeness of the one who laid down HIS life for me.

My writing will reflect the process I am in. That is to say, my writing reflects my framing story and my faith in the God revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and throughout the Gospels and Epistles, which are commonly known as the New Testament.

My framing story: Born into a pastor's home, raised to believe in the God of the Bible, placed a personal trust/faith in HIM at a young age, grew up through child-hood and adolescence learning how to connect my life with HIM and HIM with my life, went to a four-year Bible College where I challenged most of what I believe and came out with a stronger than ever belief that HE is not only the God who created and holds the universe in HIS hands, but is also the God who is my redeemer and is actively working to redeem this world to HIM. At present, my vocation is an associate minister at the Friendswood Baptist Church in Friendswood, TX. I am here through the process of God redeeming this world to HIMself. I am here through the process of God redeeming me to HIMself. I am here as I am, but I am in process of becoming the best I can be, for myself and others around me.

Welcomed and Needed: Your comments both positive and negative (I am trying to become a better writer, critique is needed for improvement). Your challenges (if any) to my writing will be welcomed and contemplated.

Relevance. Isn't that a word we live and hope by. We argue what is relevant, irrelevant. The answers to such questions are broad, drapped across a broad spectrum of opinion. "Opinion?" One continues, "Relevance is not a question of opinion. It is not even a question! We can logically determine what is relevant and what is irrelevant." The mind continues to argue the point...This will go on for a while. Relevance is a subjective issue because we all have varied backgrounds, which lead to varied opinions, which culminates to an issue being relevant or irrelevant to us individually. For examp...
