This blog is created with the sole intent of giving me a place to write some thoughts down and, maybe someday, have someone read them. I don't currently intend to advertise this anywhere, but who knows? I just thought it might be interesting to have a place to write some stuff down from time to time, do a little journaling, and a website seemed as good a place to do it as any other.
I live near Houston, Texas. I work in the manned spaceflight industry, which is amazing, but also just feels like a job from time to time. I love reading, computer games, and more than any other thing on this Earth, my family: my beautiful wife Ann (not her real name), my hilarious 3-year old son the Monkey, and my gorgeous 3-month old daughter Vanilla Bean. And no, those aren't the kids' real names either.
I'm a devout Christian, although I'm wary of the presumptions that often come by being labeled as such. My core beliefs are few but firm: I believe in the greatness of God and in the saving power of His Son Jesus Christ. I believe that man is by nature a sinner, and that only a sinless sacrifice could breach the gap between God and man. Jesus was that sacrifice. I believe in the sanctity of life. I believe that the best way to teach people about Jesus is to act like Him. Everything else is pretty much up for debate.
I like to consider myself a fairly open-minded person about most things. That often makes me feel wishy-washy in that I'm easily swayed in my opinions, but I'd much rather come across as wishy-washy than a belligerent know-it-all.
I love science and what it teaches us about the universe. Unlike many Christians in today's society, I'm not threatened by science as I believe it is continually revealing to us a Creator way more clever than we give Him credit for.
On the lighter side of things, I also love the Star Wars movies, sci-fi, electronic gadgets, and all other kinds of geeky things.
So this blog will be about whatever strikes my fancy. If you find the subjects interesting, please feel free to stay, post some comments, visit for a while.

Welcome to blogland eMonk! If this first post is any indication, I'm looking forward to reading your writings.
Open-minded is not wishy-washy. It's a recognition that as finite beings our ability to correctly identify truth is somewhat limited. I am often guilty of being overly certain of the correctness of my opinions. I see this as one sign of my finiteness. I could do with a dose of open-mindedness now and then!
