About me

Gender Male
Industry Religion
Occupation Lay Ecclesial Minister (Religion is an industry? Isn't that self-defeating??)
Location Galena, Ohio, United States
Introduction A Kentuckian in the heart of the Buckeye State with a degree in Theological Studies and more than a decade of ministry experience, he'd prefer to become a die-hard ham/AM Radio junkie or a lawyer, if he had the money and the time. His interests include sessions of Dance Dance Immolation, sharing his Sam Peckinpah collection with his young children and mindlessly scanning the Internet for the elusive bits of original content. When he gets around to it, Paul blogs, broods, putters about his new house and yells at random. He's an ISTJ on the Meyers-Briggs test, and "Type A" describes him and his blood. He's a husband to one, father to two and indebted to very many.

You've rented a sky-writer to propose to your significant other, but it's completely overcast. What will you do?

Ever see "North by Northwest?" :)~
