Things I once was: Caribbean travel exec, lawyer, Army Ranger Viet Nam.

Things I am now:  graybeard, husband, father, soon-to-be grandfather, sailor, Lutheran, sports fan, fisherman, political junkie, and novelist.

I have done formal studies at Dartmouth College, University of Minnesota Law School, and with the Benedictine monks of St John’s School of Theology, Collegeville, MN.

I confess to narcissistic impulses that compel me to blog.  Cogito sum vox, ergo blogito.  (I think I am right, therefore I blog.)  The blog will address progressive, religious themes of politics, the politics of religion, books, theology and scripture, and I will share my journey of writing and soon publishing my novel of Biblical fiction, The Jewish Gentile.

I encourage comments and guest posts.
