Born and raised in Jacksonville, FL, I grew up loving the game of football and I'm an avid yet frustrated Jaguars fan.

After graduation from high school, and before attending Bible college, I studied marine engineering and visited several countries including Greenland, South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, Trinidad, Panama, Philippines and Vietnam. I was fascinated with all of these countries but was attracted only to one.

In fact, I have been living and ministering (Pastor/Missionary) in South Africa for many years.

My wife, Becky, and I have two grown sons (one married) and three grandchildren.

Believing that all truth is God's truth I enjoy reading books on various subjects and discussing these issues with people of opposing ideas. Therefore, I have found blogging a really enjoyable past time.

My website (blog), NowTHINK!AboutIt, is dedicated to avoiding the same hackneyed answers to old gnawing questions about people and events in the Bible.

As mentioned in some of my posts Jesus often did things, which on the surface, don't square with images of a loving God. His methods were very different to what we, from our modern day perspective expect, and because of that He is often accused of being insensitive and in-compassionate.

The same is true with the Old Testament. God's instructions, teachings or actions are not easily understood, faults are assumed and God is accused.

To be honest I understand this response.

Personally my loyalties are with God and I prefer to believe there are good reasons for some of His apparently less than humane actions but I don't think poorly of people because they respond accusingly.
