About Me

Tim: lover of God, happily married husband, new father, student ministry pastor, Biblical Seminary student, black coffee-drinking, Yankee-cheering, jaded and hopeful soul who is seeking what is true, good, and beautiful.

I am still trying to figure out the proper and wisest use of this blogging medium, its limitations, its potential abuse, and its potential good. So in the meantime, I ask that you please bear with me.  Further, I would love to read your comments and invite you to join me on this part of the journey.

Please remember this only a blog.  A collection of words posted on a particular day.  No offense to anyone, but my blog friends and I joke that any idiot can create one.  It’s only a blog. 

Here are some reasons why I blog:

It’s an exercise of writing and thought. 

It’s a way of my friends keeping up with me and a way of me keeping up with my friends.  Some are very close and some are those that I’ve met only online.  It’s a cool world.

I like experimenting with ideas (hopefully not recklessly)

You are welcomed to comment.  Before you write a negative one, please consider:

If you are a Christian, will your words reflect that?

If you are not a professing Christian, can these comments be interpreted as mean?

You are welcome to disagree but not disrespect.  It’s a paradox that I exert a great deal of energy on.  I disagree with dear family and dear friends, but may I not do so with disrespect. 

I enjoy dialogue, feel free to participate.  I ask you to not judge me by my blog but I invite you to get to get to know me.  Feel free to email me, if we live close enough, I’m up for a cup of coffee.
