: About Me

Born and raised in Jacksonville, FL I grew up loving the game of football and I am an avid yet frustrated Jaguars fan. After graduation from high school and before attending Bible college I studied marine engineering and visited several different countries including Greenland, South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, Trinidad, Panama, Philippines and Vietnam. I was fascinated by all of these countries but was attracted only to one. In fact, I have been living and ministering in South Africa for many years. My wife and I have two grown sons (one married) and two grandchildren all of whom we love very much. Believing that all truth is God's truth I enjoy reading books on various subjects and discussing these issues with people of opposing ideas. Therefore, I have really found blogging an enjoyable past time. I also enjoy drumming, cycling and I dabbling in domaining.

It appeases Green philosophies in one way and abuses them in another. What's the point? Christians are guilty of this faulty logic also.
