Some words that describe me: male, 51 years old, a disciple of Christ, a husband of 27 years who is seeking to be faithful to his wife, a father of three young women (ages 23, 21, and 17, all seniors this year, two in college one in high school), a homeschoolers of 17 years, a civil engineer with specialty in water resources, a Kansan, a conservative who doesn’t see the parties as all that different (frequently disappointed in the Republicans but who trusts the Democrats even less).

Content of this blog: I will write about what I am convinced of, what I want to pass on to my girls, and what I want to share with others who are like-minded where I think I have something to say or contribute. The content of this blog include:

• Family devotions – material form my devotional life I was to pass on to my girls. We all still live under the same roof but rarely get together. This is a way of doing family devotions virtually. Sad that it has to be this way but that is the reality of the situation.
• Practical materials for the girls on finances, nutrition, computers, careers, and more.
• Reviews: books, movies, consumer goods (where I have done research)
• Resources I recommend on a variety of topics (e.g. favorite webs sites and the like).
• Whatever else I think may be of value for people like me.

What this blog is not:

• This blog is not an apologetics site. By that I mean that it is not about defending my beliefs. There are many sites that attempt to do that. I am busy and engaged in life and only have so much time for this. For now, my focus is on getting the content out. Maybe letter in life, my focus will be different.
• The blog will not be an on-line diary although I will include what is going on with me at times.

Format:

• One of the distinctives of the WordPress blog is that it allows the use of categories and it is searchable (as well as free and easy to use). I intend to use these tools to allow the user to find things of interest.
• I will try to keep things short and easy to read. All of us are busy.

This blog was started in November 2006 and it will likely take some time to develop a critical mass. If you share my values, you might check back in a few months and see what I have here at that time.
