New Neighbor #40
Wow! I have been remiss in my introductions! I had been running a new neighbor feature each Sunday, to give my readers a glimpse into another blog. However, I just realized I've missed this wonderful feature the past two weeks! No more! It shall continue, well, now.
The New Neighbor Feature is based on an idea from Joe Carter at The Evangelical Outpost -- The Church Directory. It's a monstrous blogroll (you can see it over there on the right of this site) of people associated with Christianity. One of it's purposes is get people to meet one another. With that in mind, I started doing this New Neighbor feature. Each week I pick a blog from that list at random, go read about the blog and the person running it, and then post about it here. So, without further ado, here is this week's new neighbor:SteelerDirtFreak
Huh? I can't find anything on the site explaining the name...but I guess I can attribute it to the tag line:
A reformational renaissance redneck who likes football, dirt car racing, and photography tries to figure out what it means to follow after the path of Jesus in this post-Christian world we find ourselves in.
Well, that sure is a mouthful! It's not often you'll find "renaissance" and "redneck" even in the same paragraph, must less right next to one another. I think I'd get along well with Mr Oyler -- I can't find his first name, but his last name does show up on the blog -- because we appear to have a number of similar interested. He likes Nascar, but appears to not be completely consumed by it; he likes Pittsburgh in tonight's game (and has a great picture up for it); and Powerlifting -- well, his brother is a champion, so I presume he likes it! He also appears to do professional photography (perhaps on the side?), and web design. Except for the passion for dirt racing, he could be my twin (I prefer making mud pies). He's also got a quiz up (go for it, Smokey) that shows his theological worldview. He comes up Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan -- the quiz shows me as a fundamentalist, which I'm sure comes as little surprise to regular readers here... So hey, head on over and say hello! What else did you have to do while waiting for the game tonight? And don't you DARE say "What game?"
