You'll say to me, "How can you do that and be a novelist also?"

Shouldn't I just be writing fiction in my blogs, I might think in reply to you. Well, the mold was already broken by none other than William F. Buckley Jr. in crossing that type of genre/ outlet barrier freely. The editor-in-chief and founder of the political magazine The National Review, he was too intelligent and thought too clearly to care what anyone thought of him. Those are good footsteps to follow in...albeit a very conservative individual, traditional conservative thinking would favor freedom of expression over people's thoughts being held captive to an arbitrary industry or societal standard. Those are the values I hold dear.
All this being said, I will mention for the sake of The Reformer blog that Buckley was a Catholic while I am a Protestant.

"Night Fever," new song of mine could have many biblical implications

Many people think of going to do something for the Lord like the preach the gospel, but will they really consider what the backlash would or could be like against them in many forms?

In this new song "Night Fever," I just describe in vague terms one day in July 2011 when my ministry efforts with them finally got derailed more seriously. Tom of 1tmoch fame called my cellphone (or we called each othe...

A Song No One Knew Could Be About John the Baptist

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that “One More Try” by George Michael could have one interpretation as being about John the Baptist. This would indeed a highly compelling interpretation of the song. The song seems to depict a man, sung in first person narrative (I interpret as being John the Baptist), upset by his previous teacher (I interpret here as Jesus), and trying to reason with another person he wants as his lover. This third person, (the lover), for the sake of my interpretation could be Salome, or someone else. The way that the video depicts him confined in a room with stained glass windows makes me feel like it’s John singing from prison before he was beheaded. He’s saying that it’s too bad he can’t see Jesus any longer, and could she please give him one more try even though he’s behind bars. I happen to like this interpretation a lot, because it makes John the Baptist look like a rockstar. He was indeed said by Christ as bei...
