I know that I already posted this a couple weeks ago but that was with my previous blogging software and I whacked the previous database before I could import those postings over here… sooo… Here it is again:
I am almost done with this book and it is great! No More Christian Nice Guy, by Paul Coughlin of Christian radio station KDOV, is practically a sequel to John Eldridge’s Wild at Heart, the highly acclaimed tome of masculine apologetics, no apologies required! 
Now Paul Coughlin documents the causes and cures of modern Christian male pussification… that is the acceptance and practice of men shunning their masculine qualities (regarded as somehow sinful) in favor of effeminate over-domestication (like a pussy cat). This is a must read for any Christian male who has forgotten they have a pair, and even those who are readily aware of the fact but find themselves in a world that doesn’t want men with pairs. What the book does, clearly and simply, is dispel the myths of Christ’s nature and conduct that have been pushed by post-modern feminist culture into our modern church culture. In fact, Christ was not the nice, soft, peaceful, non-confrontational, non-controversial nice guy that we paint him to be. Don’t believe me? Read your Bible!!! (and then read this book) 
Here’s a great review found on CrossWalk.com.

What is the Nashville Number System you may ask? It is a common music chord “language” that, I assume, developed in Nashville in the recording industry.
In my own music circles we have been using this lingo already… and I never really knew what it was “officially” called, only that it was rather universal among serious musicians and could be found in modern instrumental instructional manuals. The system allows chord progressions in music to be expressed in key-less terms, using numbers and their relative position from each other to express the chords in a progression of music in a given key. For example, in the key of C, instead of saying that a progression is C – G – Am – F you would call this 1 – 5 – 6 – 4, or using the sometimes alternate Roman Numeral variant, I – V – vi – IV. Dig?

In an unbelievable revelation I have learned that although all major web browsers supposedly interpret the same HTML and XHTML and CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) according to the same W3C standards… they never-the-less may look unique from every other browser! For instance, the work that I have done here on this page that you see only looks correct in Internet Explorer. Opera tweaks it some and Firefox tweaks it even more. Yet don’t get warm and fuzzy about IE, because it has major issues, too. It wasn’t until I really started delving into the world of CSS formatting that I realized all the hacks web designers go through just to get the same page to format identically in all major browsers.
At any rate… I think I’m done tinkering with the look and feel of this site. It’s time to add some content.

What you are seeing here is my theme, or template, that I have been working on for this site. I am always open to comments and suggestions so please feel free.
As evident as the new theme is the fact that there’s not a lot of content here yet (and the links to the right are not mine). Very soon I’ll be adding some real content so check back often!

I’ve been working with this WordPress software and I really love it. Hopefully in a couple days I’ll have my site design finalized. What you see right now is very rough, and very temporary. The final design will not even be the same color scheme, nor will it be similar in appearance.

After a brief stint using MovableType blogging software I have changed gears and am now using WordPress. It’s installation and configuration were so easy I felt guilty. It’s ease-of-use and customization are wonderful! No more Perl scripts!
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
