Still living in a small Ozark town. I am looking at restoring an old Ford pickup. Currently working on several projects at once which have slowed things down for me. I need more a focused work effort with the ablility to “break” here and there. Need to minimize my distractions.

A bullet point summary of who I am…..
I am simply just a Christian desiring to bring glory to the Lord.
Like most I went through some rough times in my life that humbled me and God in His abundant mercy lit my path so I would not stray.
I am married to a wonderful woman and have several amazing children.
My current work is in an IT/Programming field but also by God’s grace working in His ministry wherever He leads me. Colossians 3:23 Proverbs 13:4
I could be what some people would call a “minimalist” with the exception of books ‘I like my books’. The goal is to not obtain any unneeded items (but I do err at times) but continue to strive to keep my focus on heavenly things and not on the things of this earth. (Luke 12:13-21) I do plan on writing more about Christian Minimalism and the how it relates to a Christian as Christ did preach on not accumulating wealth but rather being a giving person. (Matthew 6:21)
I use the Authorized (King James) Bible and I am a TR advocate. I hold to the AV as the best English Translation we have today and that it is faithful and translation of the originals.
I am a big note taker. My choice of writing utensils are Tombow Pencils. Mistakes in my Bible or Notes in general drive me crazy and my mind has been changed before on what I thought on a particular passage. I do follow the Jonathan Edward’s miscellanies style of note taking so my Bible is not cluttered. I will cover this in an upcoming post.
What binding/text block do I prefer? I currently use the Westminster Reference Bible. I don’t like commentaries in my Bible. With no commentary and all those references, it allows Scripture to interpret Scripture. It does miss some references I feel but it sure does nail the top 80%.
That sums up who I am. I genuinely believe that our life on this earth should be devoted to Christ and Him alone.
Here is a list of hobbies and interesting facts for those interested:
I like rebinding Bibles and old books (Mostly Bibles).
I love studying anything to do with Christian Theology.
I love deeply theological and symbolic poetry.
I try to learn older languages (and some modern ones).
Starting to learn musical instruments (Currently on the dulcimer and one day maybe the fiddle).
Grilling in my backyard while I watch my kids enjoy their childhood.
I have backyard chickens and spend too much time watching song birds at my feeders.
Writing (When the subject interests me).
Listening to Podcasts: Preaching, Apologetics, Minimalism, etc. (I guess that could be considered under Theology). As well as self improvement podcasts (minimalism, simple living, budgeting, etc).
I have been dubbed a Theology Nerd.
