That's right. I'm coming out of the closet. I'll bet that caught a lot of people off guard. Steve, the guy that has been married for 36 years is announcing that he is coming out. I am. I am outing myself. Now let me explain. I am very committed to my Christian walk. Probably, many of you reading this come from that same place. But here is my frustration. I have witnessed homosexuals, sodomites, and others come proudly out of the closet and at the same time I feel that I, and others like me, have been put in the closet. Bound and gagged by political correctness. I'm over it and I'm pushing back.
I realize now that if the part of America that I identify with, was half as committed to our principles, and values, as liberals are, we would have a much different looking country today. I'm tired of dancing their tune of political correctness. It's ridiculous! This blog is going to be my place to speak my mind and say it the way I see it. Will I always be correct? I assure you I won't. But I'm not going to wait till I have it all perfect to make a statement. I'm counting on the fact that there will be people out there that will be glad to point out my error by their comments. And I will listen and weigh out their perspective. But you will not find me, out of courteousness agreeing. But I am humble enough to admit when I'm wrong.
My intent is that by reading this blog you will have an opportunity to find out who I am and what's on mind. Do I consider myself to be some kind of opinion maker or so called pundit? Not at all. I am just someone with an opinion, that wants to take advantage of this technology and get some things off my chest.
I believe many people will read my blog once, maybe twice and that will be enough for them. Some of you will probably be shocked to hear some of the perspectives I have toward events going on. I don't expect some great following. I just want some where to speak my peace and maybe some people will find it entertaining to read my rants. That's ok.
Here's what you will find. A very conservative man that tries to walk as close to God as possible. Understand something, if a sodomite can be open about his lifestyle then I most certainly can also. No apologies. I am a man that proposed to his wife 2 weeks before graduating from high school and has been faithful going on 37 years. In many ways I represent a lot of what this country used to look like.
Do you want a site that teaches leadership, motivation or conversations with a highbrow slant? You won't find it here. There are better sites for that. If you're simply looking for honest conversation then I say "welcome".
This is going to be an interesting journey!
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say. I have always enjoyed your passion and I am sure I will enjoy these postings. I agree with your point of view on this post. I have not been married as long as you, only 21 years for me, but I know how you feel. It kinda reminds me of when I was going to college. I went to apply for grants and loans and did not qualify for any of them due to my race, and finances. They had programs for American Indians, African Americans, Hispanics, but nothing for the poor white guy trying to go to school working two jobs and just wanting to better myself. In hind site, I am glad that I did it all on my own and with no handout form the governement. It means much more to me that way. Ayway, did not plan to ramble on as I did. Looking forward to the dialogs.
