Introduction-Why this blog?

I am no where near smart enough to call my self a theologian but i do enjoy theology. I read and read but then I find myself with a bunch of ideas and no where to let off the theo-steam pressure that builds up as I read. So I will see if this does the trick.

I am 54 years old and I have been a youth pastor and pastor for more than 25 years. I am not currently  working in a church setting (hence the need for a sounding board like this blog).

Just to let you know I do have a couple of theological hobby horses I like to ride.

• I am a young earth creationist so I can get really worked up about that issue.
• I am not a Calvinist (not fully Arminian either by the way) 

I'll try to keep a balance between these subjects and other theological topics.

If anyone reads this blog please comment as you feel the need to do so.
