About Me

Let's see, so you want to know about me. Alright. Here goes:
I am a self-professed artist, philosopher, preacher, romantic, and cynic. If you think that's a strange mix, well so do I.
I live somewhere in-between the worlds of liberal artists smoking and sipping wine in coffee houses and conservative evangelicals praying and praising God in church pews. I tend to fit in both of them, but never quite as well as most people in them think I should.
I have a high view of the doctrine of grace and the freedom of speech, meaning I think everyone has the right to say what they want, and we rely on God's faithfulness when those ideas are wrong.
Basically, when I turn to one side of my personality or the other, I'm pretty much a freak outsider. You put me together, and I've been told I'm a fairly well-balanced guy. Welcome.Here's the stuff I actually check on a daily basis regardless of activity:

I am on AOL instant Messenger at Shadowedpoet
