About the Author

I have become less enthusiastic about sharing about myself as I have aged.  The reason for that is that I’m much more excited to share about the Author of Creation than about the author of this blog and “What a Grocery Man Can Understand.”

I appreciate the fact that I grew up in a conservative Christian home.  I also appreciate the fact that as I’ve grown in my relationship with Christ, I saw more and more how our faith is meant to be filtered through Him, and less on some specific structured Bible interpretation, as important as it is to have good hermeneutics.  Some will read that and get worried for me, as many have used similar words to depart from the Bible’s clear teaching.  I hope that you will be able to tell by just how much I love to include Scripture in my writings that my love for the Word come in the flesh has given me a greater passion for the text through which He has chosen to reveal Himself.

I suppose one fact about myself that will “explain a lot” is the fact that I have never been in a romantic relationship since my birth in 1988.  I know many other singles, and as much as everyone is different (singles, especially), I don’t know if I could easily own the reason for singleness that others have.  I could easily be wrong, but I don’t see within myself enough of a lack of ability to attract or be attracted to members of the opposite sex that would stop me from finding a wife.  I haven’t had any trauma that has somehow caused me to be scar(r)ed to get into a relationship.  I’m not addicted to a lifestyle that wouldn’t work well for a married person – except, perhaps, for my intense desire to wish to be free/prepared for whatever God has for me to do next.

My singleness has allowed me to make many mistakes and develop bad habits (which, by God’s grace, I’m being intentional about correcting and I’m making progress with), but it has also afforded me much free time to think things through and fearlessly tackle life’s hardest questions.  More importantly, my lack of a romantic partner has made me less distracted from the intimacy that God wants to have with me – just as He wants to have an intimate relationship with all people.

I do not have any formal education that would give me the credentials to speak with authority on the things that I like to talk about.  Most of my life has been spent with days wandering the aisles of a grocery store.  And yet, God’s divine power has granted to us all things pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), and God’s Scriptures is enough to equip His servants for the work that He has for them to do (2 Timothy 3:16; Ephesians 2:10).

If you wish to know about me, I suggest looking me up on Facebook.  Feel free to ask me anything personal, I see my life as an open book.
