I wonder...

I have been wanting to start blogging for a couple of years now, but I have always been afraid that I would write a blog and nobody would read it. I still worry about that, but I'm writing this anyway.

A little about the person behind the writing:

I have been married to S for almost 16 1/2 years and together we have 5 boys and we recently found out that we have a girl on the way. We are regular church goers- we belong to a congregation in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)- the liberal Lutherans (which is a bit of an oximoron because Lutherans are known for many things, but being liberal is not usually one of them). I have been to seminary, but am not a pastor. This is for many reasons, but the main one is that I view things a little differently than traditional Lutherans do (I have been told that I am not 'Lutheran' enough).

Politically- I am middle of the road- conservative on some issues- liberal on others- usually ticking off both sides.

Musically- I love classic rock (The Kinks, Billy Joel, Chicago, The Who...); showtunes especially shows like South Pacific and Brigadoon. I don't particularly like Andrew Lloyd Webber, but understand that others do, so I fugure- to each their own.

I can't promise that I will post everyday, but I will try to. I hope that you enjoy my posts.
