An Introduction

Greetings!

If you are reading this, it probably means you have some time to kill and brain cells to waste. The last thing this world needs (or probably wants) is another blogger; another person who believes their thoughts, opinions, and words are worth reading and putting in print for others to read.

However, I finally succumbed to creating my own blog for a number of reasons.
1. I'm taking a year off of seminary, so I am not writing research papers but still reading wonderful books related to ministry.
2. I currently teach an adult Sunday school class at my church on Romans. Last year I taught a class on Acts. I've had a few people mention how it would be (or would have been) nice if I had some summary archive of my lessons and research.
3. I have been encouraged by several people to share my opinions and tastes with them in regards to music, film, and television. I began doing so with my Facebook page, but not all of my friends have an account. Also, the Facebook format isn't really set-up for more in-depth (or excessively long, however you want to define it) reviews or essays.

So here's the basic premise of my blog. Each week I'll post:
1. A summary of my Sunday school lesson. However, it'll be formated and presented more like a devotion or "thoughts of meditation" than a lesson or outline.
2. A music review/esssay either on a particular band, album, or genre of music.
3. A movie review/essay either on a particular film, actor, director, or genre of film.
4. A television review/essay on a particular show.

Depending on time availability, I may also post various thoughts and observations in connection to ministry, worship, my chaplaincy experience, or other various things that must be evicted from my head in order to make room.

I am completely new to hosting a blog, so photos, links, or mp3 uploads may or may not be in the future. I make no promises.

If you come across this, I hope you do not find it a complete waste of both my and your time. And have a Happy Thanksgiving.
