About Me
“With the help of a bottle of wine and all the wisdom I could muster, I tried my level best to penetrate the absurdity of life.” Ecclesiastes 2:3, The Message
I’m a 32 year old husband and father of two little boys. My passions are my family, music, reading, movies, coffee, aviation, gardening, cooking, and World of Warcraft. In a former life I was a pastor for nine years. Now I’m glad to call Emmanuel Baptist Church home. I spend my time playing with kids and reflecting on the wonder that is life.
These are a few posts that might help you learn more about where I’m coming from, if you really wanted to know:
- A pilot who doesn’t fly, a preacher who doesn’t preach
- Am I a Christian?
- So you want to sell advertising when you grow up?
- Believing, Belonging, Doing, or Being
- To be admired or to be known
- Myspace, My Family, and My Tattoo
- A Hobbit’s Tale of the Soul
- Reconnecting
- Changes & Conversations
- To Preach or Not To Preach
- Living Unplugged
- Changing Worldviews
- A Moment of Clarity
- Losing Faith
- Why I Can’t Give Up
- Christmas, Confusion, & Cremation
- Live Never Better, Death Never More Certain
- An Exercise in Sanity

Dear Lyndon:
It is an honor to be featured in your blogroll as our blogs deal with such different subject matter. I only hope I can live up to your reader’s expectations. I am looking forward to becoming a regular reader of your posts and I would be lying if I didn’t admit I go to the wine section first.
Regards,

Thanks, Mike. I’ve enjoyed your blog. I’m an odd duck (I admit), but I’ve found a lot of your posts especially relevant to my line of work in advertising. I am a wine nut. If you have any favorites you’d like to suggest, I’m always up for trying something new.
