thoughts out !oud

a Christian’s news, views, opinions and occasional poetry …

Why thoughts out !oud?

Thoughts out !oud (To!) is a personal blog on which I express my views on topical (and not so topical) issues, social media happenstances and the Christian life, tinged with my own Christian world-view. To! was created for a couple of purposes:

1. to get me writing about something that I enjoy and to get me writing about it often;
2. to do so for God’s glory

Thoughts expressed on this blog are based on my bias and understanding of my Christian faith. Should you wish to comment on anything that I have posted, please feel free to register in order to do so. I appreciate your input into this blog - positive, negative or otherwise - and only ask that you be respectful to the fact that the thoughts expressed are mine and not representative of Christianity as a whole. Hey - I certainly ain’t perfect! (But do appreciate when I’m respectfully told I’m off the mark.)

Who am I?
A Christian, a lay-preacher, a writer and poet; a husband of one, a father of two (… urm, in no order of priority!). I’m just an all-round crazy kind of a guy, working a full-time job in Corporate Australia, who is looking to make a (positive) difference somewhere in this mad, mad world.

I do hope you enjoy (some - if not all of) what you read here on To!.
