Howdy! My name is Scott. Basically, I'm just a guy in flyover country who thought it would be fun to share opinions with others online while that sort of thing is still allowed in Obama Nation. This inspired me to jump into the wonderful(?) world of blogging on August 31st, 2009. After digging for resources to help with the self-imposed daily writing gig, I realized that the kind of all-in-one shop for the sorts of Christian resources I like most didn't exist (or I couldn't find it, anyway). So, on September 11, 2009, I launched FireBreathingChristian.com. I am certainly not the Fire Breathing Christian, though I do aspire to be a Fire Breathing Christian. It is my hope and prayer that God will see fit to graciously use this website to bring glory to Himself and draw His people closer to Him. I'm as wretched and flawed as any. I hope that those who read what's posted here will be sure to keep that in mind. Pray and test accordingly. That said, here are a few bits of trivia... Twenty-five Possibly Noteworthy Things About the Author: I am a Christian by the grace of God. I know not why He chose me and I will praise Him for it eternally. I'm an active Southern Baptist who thinks that Jesus' first recorded miracle was a good thing in every way. I was born in Blue Island, Illinois, and raised in the Arkansas Ozarks. I love the Razorbacks. As a teenager, I began a career in the commercial fishing industry, operating out of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. I have tasted the Bering Sea in the wintertime...and it is good! I love America for what she once was and what I hope and pray she will one day be again. I was married for just over ten years before losing my wife to metastasized breast cancer at the age of twenty-nine. Witnessing her blossom into a complete Christian beauty in the midst of a four year long storm of physical devastation was the most amazing and transformative experience of my life. I am an avid reader who digs everything from
Sproul I watched the Internet bubble grow, pop and begin to re-inflate, all from an insider's perspective as I worked for Amazon.com. I love loud, bluesy music. I hate big government. (But I love BigGovernment.com) I have seen what communism has done to Eastern Europe...and Detroit. I love Broadway...but hated
Cats At the age of 36, I whizzed directly onto the former Soviet Union, just as I'd sworn to do when I was nine. Before
The Passion of the Christ I wish I was
an Inkling I am just geeky enough to own every
video game console I bleed silver and black (read: I am a committed Oakland Raider fan who has and will likely continue to endure much as a result). When I use the term "gay", I almost always intend it as a pejorative and a reference to homosexuality. I just thought that was important to establish so that I don't inadvertently offend any really happy people out there. I loved
Star Wars If the G.O.P. nominates one more Bob Dole or John McCain for President, I will never vote Republican again. Think of this as my take on the whole "three strikes and you're out" concept. You can have my guns when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. I always carry three small booklets in my
glove compartment:
The United States Constitution It is my goal to, if at all possible, personally carve my name into the ozone through the creative use of CFCs. Generally speaking, I'm a happy guy.
