If you comment, he will blog.

Reposting this at the top so some of you can give your two cents. Please let me know what you think. Thanks to those of you who have already commented here.

Much like the whispery voiced ghost of baseball's boys of summers past in their spooky quest for a place to play, I the not-so- whispery funky presbyterian put forth a similar request to you, my beloved family, treasured friends and valued readers. Post here and tell me to what topic you think I should devote some blogging time:

1. Why I believe in God (and still consider myself to be at least somewhat reasonable).

2. Is there a sensible way to be a Christian in a post-modern culture?

3. What should we think about evil, suffering and injustice?

4. Or give me another topic of interest... whatever.

You tell me which topics you'd find most helpful or interesting. So post here and let me know. When I have a number of votes (10-15) I'll call for a tally and we'll see what develops. I'm especially interested in hearing from people who are not already on the Jesus bandwagon. I value your perspectives whatever they be and would like to facilitate further discussion, thought and dialogue about spiritual issues. Thanks people.

I am a kid in a candy store.

31

Here's a rundown if you're just joining us:

6 months I remember getting a family picture taken.
1-3 don't remember a lot. I remember blue and green carpet. And a clown face that hung in the Dr.'s office. And a kid named David who ate raw potatoes and carried around a naked baby doll.
4 decided to follow Jesus. Think I saw a ghost.
5 a big year. Kindergarten.
6-7 same as 5 but a little taller and better reasoning skills
8 sucked. Moved and had to change schools. Got beat up at recess by Todd Sloan and Kent Keller.
9 a little better. But my toe nail fell off.
10-12 Good years. Started hanging out with Edsall, Maynard, Forney.
13-14 Junior high. Started wrestling. Locker next to Matt Birt's. Would remain that way for a long long time.
15 Freshman. Sat next to Edsall in nearly every class. GPA takes a hit.
16 Driver's license. Purchased a 1978 mustang 2 for $600. Begin to excell at wrestling. No correlation to mustang 2. This is the year of the legendary party at Debbie Daloney's house.
17 Good wrestling record, begin to get scholarship offers.
18 massive shoulder injury, miss senior season. Scholarships rescinded. But a great and eventful senior year
18-19 Off to Taylor U.
19-21 Got the heck out of Taylor U. Transferr to Miami U. Begin dating Charity Harder.
22 A good year. Marry Charity harder. Graduate from Miami.
23 Off to seminary in St Louis
25 A good year. Jack is born. I'm a daddy.
27 Take a call to plant a church in Columbus Ohio & graduate from Seminary.
27-29 Prepare to plant church.
29-30 Plant church. Sam is born. Foster parent two little girls while planting church. Hardest year of my life since the third grade. Also a very rich and rewarding year.
31 Drive to Tim Horton's for coffee. Come home and type entry on blog.

Now you are all caught up.
