An Introduction to this Blog

Olivia (my wife) says that I'm "practically useless" and she's not exaggerating much. I can't fix things or build things or farm or run a buisness or drive big machinery or perform CPR...the one thing I do decently well is read. It's what I do all the time. If I am not writing about something that I've recently read, I'm probably reading. For a while now I have wanted to collect excerpts from some of the interesting and important material that I read but I never seem to find the time. So this blog is first of all a venue for me to catalogue quotations. But I hope it will be more than that. I hope that these words will point readers to Christ and to a fuller vision of his kingdom just as they have me. That is what my life and my education are all about. And that is all I really know.
