Well I finally did it. Got a blog to let me vent, discuss, and ramble about various things that excite or irritate me.
I have retired too early due to health, and find myself alone during the day, arguing with the television, newspapers, commentators et.al. Now I will comment here, and perhaps someone other than my cats will hear.
I am a conservative Christian — though probably not the type the media would have you expect… I don’t “blindly follow” anyone, not even the Bible! I investigate carefully then decide for myself. What I decided about God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible led me to the place I am today — born again, and believing the Bible is in fact the Word of God.
I am an old sailor — hence the title. Spyglasses are used to spot trouble, find safe passage, and get a closer look at anything of interest. Fog horns warn mariners of dangerous shoals that can’t be detected due to fog and stormy weather. The Bible is the Christians’ spyglass and foghorn.
Much of my commentary will contrast the common world view with the Bible view. Quite different views.
