| Introduction | By vocation, I am a Lutheran pastor, husband, father and neighbor. Words are a huge part of each of those pieces of my life. There are lots of words that get put down on paper or a computer screen each week in my house and study. When not writing, I have words in front of me, reading, learning, growing, and thinking. I spend a great deal of time with pastoral reading. My pastoral library is approximately 81 linear feet of books. In the evenings, I enjoy mystery and suspense novels, historical non-fiction, and other things that strike my fancy. By avocation, I enjoy working with my hands. I have a full woodshop and am getting pretty good at making toothpicks, sawdust, and boards that are too short. I find great satisfaction in taking a sharp hand plane and, sliding it along the edge of a board, watching freshly cut, thin strips of wood curl into tight ribbons. So, with an interest in words and in making big pieces into small pieces of wood, I humbly enter the blogosphere with this blog titled “Crosses and Wood Shavings.” I intend to discuss theology, life in South Texas, family, ideas, woodworking, and living as a forgiven child of God. |
