About Me

Goethe:
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Barry Goldwater:
Extremism in opposition to tyranny is no vice. Moderation in the face of tyranny is no virtue.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.
Napoleon Hill:
~Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

Unknown:
~He who never fell, never climbed.
Denis Waitley:
~There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

Anonymous:
For all the things we say and all the evil we see, what manner of people then, ought we to be?
You can only avoid stepping on people's toes for so long before you run out of places to walk.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
Act as if it is all up to us, and pray as if it is all up to God.
John Quincy Adams:
Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

My Interests

Truth in all of its forms. Biblical and extra biblical. For all truth is of God. We cannot call ourselves Christians if we reject it on any level. How could we??(John 14:6) and as a remarkable friend of mine Lionheart so eloquently puts it, refuting the idea that chivalry is dead. :-) History, the arts.

To be the true church; opposing evil at every turn, crashing through the very gates of Hell. The church that Hell has not prevailed against.

I'd like to meet:

Fellow truth seekers, the heroes of our faith. Believe it or not, both of these groups of people combined constitute a pretty good little handfull of individuals. :-) Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Kent Hovind, to name just a few specifically...

Music:

Cele De, Nevertheless, Everyday Sunday, Carl Klang, Reliant K, Stellar Kart, Newsboys, Audio A, Hillsong United, Tree 63, Kutless, Casting Crowns, Todd Agnew, BOB, Fusebox, Thousand Foot Krutch, All Star United, The Vow, The Desperation Band...

John Reuben and Matt Theissen from Relient K in a song with real gusto!!!

Movies:

SMITTY Dark Secrets Inside the Bohemian Grove .. Terrorstorm ..9/11: Road to Tyranny ..Martial Law: Rise of the Police State ..Day 51 ..Death and Taxes (Part 1) .. (Part 2) ..old black and white films were so much better than most of the trash Hollywood produces now. But I do like epic movies, such as Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, Braveheart, The Patriot, and so on. Some of the political/analagous movies have some good aspects too, like The Fountainhead, the original Manchurian Candidate, and V For Vendetta, and last, but not least, The Princess Bride. You keep rolling your eyes. I do not think amiss what you think amiss. :-)

Television:

History Channel off and on, and TV Land. You Tube now more than anything. And I actually really, really, REALLY like that show on Food Network, Good Eats, with Alton Brown. It's quite amazing actually. :-)

Books:

The Bible, like most extremists and conspiracy theorists or religioius fanatics, I'm a KJV man folks,:-) the inerrant, infallible, inspired word of Almight God, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Soveriegnty of God, The Sea Wolf, Robin Hood, Robinson Crusoe, the Chronicles of Narnia, The Pilgrim's Progress, The Go-Getter...

"You can only avoid stepping on people's toes for so long before you run out of places to walk."

"They boast with laurels and litanies of their quarrels and epiphanies, yet their loose morals give way to so many inconsistencies..."

Heroes:

Jesus, my dad, my brother Nathan, my mom, Stephen, the Apostles, Nathan Hale, Ethan Allen, Francis Marion, Davy Crocket, and the defenders of the Alamo, the men who fought to preserve the Confederacy, the founding fathers, William Wallace, David's mighty men, Joshua, Robin Hood, King Solomon, King Leonidas
You scored as William Wallace. The great Scottish warrior William Wallace led his people against their English oppressors in a campaign that won independence for Scotland and immortalized him in the hearts of his countrymen. With his warrior's heart, tactician's mind, and poet's soul, Wallace was a brilliant leader. He just wanted to live a simple life on his farm, but he gave it up to help his country in its time of need.

Ponderings and Observations on a Starry Night

As I lay there in the grass staring up at the Tennessee night sky, it dawned on me.  It takes being knocked flat on your back from time to time to really be able to see the big picture.  And...

"Give me this day my daily bread... but can I have it starch and gluten free?"
