About

This is the blog of an ordinary guy:  a middle aged, middle-class, slightly overweight midwestern white guy who hasn’t quite made it to middle management.  Politically, I am moderately conservative (which puts me right in the center in my locale).  Theologically, I am a Christian and I like to think myself orthodox, but mainly I’m just looking for the truth — whatever it may be.  In school I was labelled “gifted,” but I have found plenty of people smarter than I am.  Actually “gifted” is a good way to think about it — I believe God has “gifted” all of us with something, so we all fit into the world in our own special way — which means that all of us, and none of us, are special.  My personal spin on being ordinary is that it’s the perfect platform for discussing the human experience:  the things I think, believe, and do are likely to be the things most other people think, believe and do. 

 I hope you will benefit from what you find here.
