About Patrick

First and foremost, Patrick is a fallen being far from perfect in just about every way. Saved by Christ more than a decade ago, his life has been transformed. While there is more to Patrick than simply his redemption this must be placed up front because it is perhaps the most important brick in the foundation of this blog. Additional information about Patrick includes his home. He is a displaced native Minnesotan who has studied just about everything. He holds both a Bachelor of Science in Multi-Disciplinary Studies and an MBA with an additional emphasis on Public Relations, both from Liberty University.

Thoughts on Conflict and the Role of Evil

It was fitting that I would read my Great Grandfather’s words today for the first time.   This morning President Obama gave his speech addressing the world and specifically Congress with the need for military action in Syria.  Talking heads will debate the politics of it all: should the President have acted as the Commander in […]
