Welcome to the website. I use this site as a handy journal to record my thoughts and feelings. The difference, of course, is that I do not write privately. Some of my posts are angry and some are sad, but some are happy. I do not apologize for what I write, but I will discuss anything. If I am wrong, I will do what is necessary to make it right, if possible.

There’s been a few changes over the past three years to the site. The biggest change recently, besides the upgrade, has been the addition of several subdomains. This site serves to discuss Christianity, the ICoC subculture, my life, some philospohy, and the occasional miscellany ranging from politics (very very rare) to games to computer culture to Chick-Fil-A(TM). As far as Chrisitianity goes, I come from a Methodist background from childhood. In college, I studied several religions without participating in them. I considered myself Christian with no real denominational ties. I joined the International Churches of Christ in 1991. In the spring of 2006, I asked to be considered a non-member of the church I attend. I am still active in this church and its events because I want to be in this community of people and raise my children here.

As far as theology or philosphy is concerned, I can be pretty ambivalent. However, I do believe in a few things very strongly:

• I believe in the righteous cause of those that cannot defend themselves.
• I believe in challenging authority that hurts people under the guise of religion.
• I believe that honesty is its own reward and one of the highest ideals.
• I believe in the inherent good of individual people.

From left to right on the top of the page, the auxillary sites are:
Dira – The world of Dira is a role-playing fantasy setting loosely based on the Roman Empire. Development here is being moved to another site, so this may disappear in the future or change locations.

D/I – The dev/itreegulars site is for news that matters to Geeks. Feel free to comment or post, it’s under construction but has fun things.

Sycarion – Sycarion Diversions is home to anything games. This can be card games or board games, but especially focuses on role-playing games. A major project ongoing there is Lenga, a generic fantasy setting for the Action!-System rules.

My Family – Old website my wife and I set up for our wedding. It will change sometime in 2006 into a site for both of us.

Computer Biz – My associate(mrtool) and I have done some computer work and used this name. Our original concept was to manufacture a self-repairing workstation for use in rental properties that offer internet service. We still build computers when we can. The fate of this site is uncertain at this time.

Study Hall – This site was created for a friend and I to study the Bible together. Emails became more useful. However, I intend to publish a few expositions of various books of the Bible there.

Prairiecomber – The Prairie Comber will hold my writing efforts including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. For now, a lot of the material is very old (and it shows!). As I get more serious about writing, it will contain more stories and poems.

For My Son – This site hold information about parenting hard of hearing children. As we are sorting through the wealth of information we have, I hope to post it here.

Feel free to comment on this or any of the other auxillary sites. And again, welcome to my diary.
