Are You Writing Humorously or Seriously?

Both. It really depends on the blog post. Sometimes I mix them in together. For instance in my post Jobs I Would Hate to Hold the tone is humorous (at least thats the intent) but I am not dishonest about anything. I really would hate to have any of those jobs. In my post Is God a Republican or A Democrat? I am attempting to make a serious point with a mild bit of humor here and there. You should be able to tell in which vein I am writing. Though you will sometimes not know by looking at the title which vein I am writing in.

I believe Christians can be both serious about serious issues and have a fun time as well. Some people claiming to be Christians appear like they have been embalmed before their time (and no one says about them that they look good, the way they do when they normally look at a newly embalmed person.) In other words they look like a bunch of dead stiffs (unless they are really skinny in which they only look like one dead stiff). Anyway, their is nothing Christian about looking like you just stepped out of a coffin.

On the other hand, some younger Christians today don't appear to take much of anything seriously. They blather around like idiots without realizing there are serious issues in life. We don't want to be too frivolous (frivilus, frivilous, frivi...however this word is spelled) about the big issues of life (and many smaller ones as well).

Balance is the key to life in so many ways and I shall write more about balance in later works of literary genius (or regular posts, whichever happens to come out that day). A balanced Christian can seriously discuss issues and can also have fun as well. This blog helps me to do both.

Answers to Questions You Haven't Asked

Q: Are You Married?
Yes. I have a beatiful wife that I love very much. Her nickname on this site and in all postings referring to her will be Baby Love.

Q: What is a Seminary?
Contrary to what you have heard it is not a synonym for cemetery. Actually it's a graduate school training pastors, theologians, music/worship leaders, counselors, and other church related personnel.

Q: Who is your favorite preacher?
It would be hard to limit myself to just one but some of my favorite preachers are Andy Stanley, Adrian Rogers, Rick Warren, Charles Swindoll, Ed Young, Jr. , Rob Bell, and my own pastor.

Q: Who is your favorite actor?
It's probably a tie between Bob Newhart and Kelsey Grammar. "Newhart" and "Frasier" are two of my all time favorite TV Shows and their presence in either one boosts the credibility of a project in my view. I enjoyed the NBC 75th Anniversary Special a few years ago where Newhart "criticized" Grammar for basically playing the same guy in two different sitcoms. This is the only time I've ever seen the two of them on-screen together and it was great.

Q: Who is your favorite President?
I like Washington and Lincoln as most do, but my favorite of the last 100 years is Ronald Reagan (chances are I'll write about Reagan in a future column).

Q: You like history. What are your favorite things in history to study?
I like all history pretty well but my favorite subjects are: the period between 300-600 A.D. when the Roman Empire fell, the Protestant Reformation, the Lewis and Clark expedition, World War II, and the Reagan Presidency.

That's enough questions for now.

Why name your blog this?

I am a servant of Jesus Christ. Check Paul's writings in the New Testament and you will see that he frequently introduced himself as a servant of Jesus Christ. Some people think that means that you check your brain at the door and don't use it anymore. Nothing could be further from the truth. Christ wants his servant's to use their minds. Thus the name of my blog.
