My New Blog

I've been gone for a while, but I'm back and ready to go.

Taking some inspiration from my wife's recent retread of her own blog, I've decided to focus my blog on something that means a lot to me: Evangelical and fundamental Christianity, especially in the US. I grew up as a Pentecostal Christian in Florida and didn't really re-examine my life until I was in my twenties. I spent a lot of time in fundamental private schools as well as leading music in youth groups and churches. Although I never officially became a member of any church, I was a music director/worship leader at a small and, then, new church in south St. Petersburg.

Now that I'm older and no longer a practicing Christian, I remain interested in Christianity as it affects local and national politics, society, class, race, the economy, and religious differences. I'm going to spend some of my free time investigating Christianity in the news as well as inter-personally.

I guess I hope to better understand those people who surrounded me when I was younger and whom I look at from a distance, now.

I absolutely encourage any comments you might have, whether they be questions, quibbles, debates, or a topic I might like to cover.

Enjoy!
