Memoirs from a Leather Journal
A Reason for the Memoirs Within Me:
"Preach the word: be instant in season, and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all patience and doctrine."
II Timothy 4:2
"People have fallen into a foolish habit of speaking of orthodoxy as something heavy, humdrum and safe. There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy."
-G.K. Chesterton, from "Orthodoxy"

Faithful Sayings:
"The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God."
-Oswald Chambers, from My Utmost for His Highest
"How few stand to the landmarks in this age of wandering!"
-Charles Spurgeon
"It is the Divine life [that] continually makes more and more discoveries about the Divine mind."

- Greetings, fellow human. I'm a Christian cultural apologist with a BA in English (Crichton College), a MA in English and MFA in Creative Writing (University of Memphis), and am currently a PhD candidate at the U of Memphis. I am a Dark Fantasy Realist (floating somewhere between Chesterton and Cormac McCarthy), ardent Logocentrist, hardcore Trinitarian, Sacramental Protestant, aspiring author, frustrated rockstar, and lover of pie.

YES!!! You are welcome to come to the dark side...
God: "The Baptists never told you what happened to the liturgy."
Me: "They told me enough! They told me you killed it!"
God: "No. I AM the liturgy."
Me: "No. That's not true! That's IMPOSSIBLE!"
God: "Search the Scriptures, you know it to be true!"
Me: "NOOOOOOOO!!!! NOOOOO!!!!"
