Who I am and why I'm here

I am a white male Evangelical Christian in his mid 50's. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and name Him as my personal Saviour. I have been born-again for 23 years, I am also a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, in recovery for 24 years.

I have strong views on most issues in life, like to comment on them, but am willing to listen to well reasoned arguments opposing my view. I'm as likely to talk about a struggle in my personal walk as I am to make comments on our culture and the direction our country is heading in.

If I don't irritate you some of the time then I'm not doing what I've set myself to do: make people question what it is they think they know and own it after questioning.

"Better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

I have always thought that good advice, advice I rarely have followed. So I think it's a perfect title for my venturing into the blogosphere. Most of you who know me know i am not very shy in sharing my thoughts and opinions.

So, I expect to remove all doubt on a fairly regular basis.
