About

My name is Kevin Jackson, owner and operator of this site and blog. I have been blogging on and off — mostly off — for the past 7 or 8 years. Most of those old posts are gone, but some persist in some one or another. I am calling this version 3.0 of my blog and I welcome you to it.

Who am I and why am I here?

I am a husband, father, deacon, support analyst and geek; not always in that order, but I try to keep everything in proper perspective. In a former life I was an English Literature major and theatre minor until I realized that I couldn’t make a living with those credentials alone. I have several hundred pages of stories, failed starts to novels, poetry, scripts and various and sundry other writings. Don’t worry, I won’t share all of them here; just some of them.

My aim for this blog is to write about all sorts of things that interest me and catch my attention. These can be just about anything including, but not limited to, music, books, movies, television and technology. Most importantly I write (or try to) from a distinctly Christian perspective and intend to discuss theology and God. In fact, everything I do should be couched in and informed by my beliefs. I’ll even throw in a little politics from time-to-time just for fun.

So Open Minded?

The question that I get asked most often is not one that is relevant right now so, instead, I will tell you where the title of this blog comes from. There is a song by Steve Taylor entitled “Whatcha Gonna Do When Your Number’s Up?” and one of the lines in there sums up what is wrong with being “open minded” as defined by the world; “You’re so open minded that your brains leaked out.” There are some things that we simply should not be open minded about and these are some of the things I want to explore here. At the same time, one should always be open to being wrong, because we so often are.

I look forward to writing and discussing here for as long as I am able; or until it is time to move on to version 4.0.
