I have started a blog in the past, but have had a real hard time consistently posting things. This is something that I want to discipline myself to start doing regularly. I moved the posts I had done in the past onto this blog. You can find them below or in the archive.
So for my first post on this blog, I decided to write about the things that I like and what I most likely will be blogging about.
In some particular order, the things I enjoy spending my time doing and thinking about are:
-Scripture, theology, history of the church, the puritans, expository sermons, proclaiming the gospel to the lost and such & such.
-How to lead my family as a husband and father in the most Christ honoring and obedient way.
-Having dominion in this world as an ambassador for Christ which includes speaking about politics, social issues, and culture with Scripture as my guide.
-Reading. Classic novels, history, children's books. I would like to write children's books that will teach good, theologically correct and sincere Biblical truth. Kids aren't dumb. They can handle big things if you take the time to explain it to them and you understand it yourself.
-I went to the San Antonio Christian Filmmakers Academy in 2009. I have a burning and growing passion to start making films. Ones that honor Christ specifically and that have a Biblical worldview. Not that it has to have an explicit gospel invitation at the end of every film, but that speaks biblical truth and has hope, rather than humanism and despair. I have a few ideas in my head, but I am still trying to learn the basics of the industry. As of now, it is something that I would like to be spending a lot of my time on in the future.
-Woodworking. I am attempting to start to make wooden swords as well as wood burning Scripture on slabs to sell.
-I enjoy the show Man v. Wild and am very interested to see if I can go into the wilderness and eat an elk eye ball and drink my own urine to survive. I almost did it the other day when it was so hot and humid, but thankfully I was able to make it to the refrigerator and got a ginger ale instead.
-Before I got married, I didn't own any guns. Now I have four. Two rifles and two pistols along with a CHL. I would consider myself to be a fairly gentle person, but protecting my family is very serious to me and I want to be wise and bold (as in not at all timid) when it comes to their safety. God has entrusted them to me and I must be a faithful steward to their well-being. This includes their instruction in the Lord and His word and law, as well as their physical care. I haven't always held this view and it's something I will write about.
-I like the agrarian lifestyle. Maybe it's because I am not fully immersed in it and I don't have to depend on it for my livelihood, but I like going up to my grandpa's farm and helping him with his garden and chickens and fruit trees and such. I also love taking my boy along with me and teaching him how to work hard and training him to become a man.
Well, I guess I'll stop here. There is probably more that can be said, but I think one reason I haven't blogged consistently is because I go on too long. So I guess I'll talk to ya'll next time, all two of you who read my blog. I'll see you at home.
