Still Talking Sports
Father knows best. I am too young to know that reference other than as an answer to some old TV trivia. It was just about fall in the year 2000. My dad hugged me on the parking lot of the local grocery store that housed the bank where I had filled my wallet for the road trip to start seminary. He then said these words that will never leave me: "Remember, you're just a sportscaster going to get a theological education." I've been a church professional for almost a decade now, and I put my first career on hold to do it. Sportscasting. It was the only thing I ever wanted to do with my life (after I got over the drummer and ice cream scooper phases of preschool). I started in radio at age 14, and was on the fast track to network TV! God works in mysterious ways and I've been called in other directions, but now this blog can fill a large void that I have felt for way too long. After all, I'm just a sportscaster with a theological education, and I'm still talking sports after all this time!!!!!

Nicely done, Neil! Welcome to the world of blogging. Hope this venue becomes a good outlet for your sportscasting soul! Don't even THINK about leaving ministry, though. We need good play-by-play announcers like you commenting on the gridiron of the PC(USA)!
Welcome to the blogosphere Neil! It's a pretty nice place, a few weirdos here and there, but all in all it's fun! Can't wait to read more!
