Welcome to Sword Drills. I am not a pastor, theologian, or biblical scholar. Just a person of faith with serious hopes and doubts, observations and aspirations. This blog is not meant to preach at/to people. It’s just a way for me to share all my crazy thoughts on faith.
Posts promise to be all over the map. They may even contradict themselves. But I think all of us have been all over the map and contradicted ourselves from time to time. In a way this blog may more closely resemble the makeup of a true spiritual journey in that way than many books or websites that are more closely edited or ‘message-oriented.’
Anyway, I hope you’ll take it with a grain of salt. I hope you’ll identify with something you read here. Maybe get a new insight or at least a laugh out of it. Thanks for reading.

Question: What kind of thoughts, if any, run through your head when you encounter people of other faiths that are obvious in that religion? (example: Jewish business man walking down the street with his yamika attached, or a nun coming off the train that is fully covered even to the degree of wearing gloves).
I guess I am usually impressed by that person’s level of commitment to his or her religion. That they would be that open about it. Why do you ask?
hi there, i got here from a link you left in one of the other blogs i read (sorry, can’t rber which). and on this lazy friday afternoon at work, i finished reading your entire blog, which isn’t a lot. 🙂
i’d just like to say that i really like what i’ve read, i like the way you write, and that i look forward for more so keep it up. 🙂
(also, i can’t seem to find the feed for your site for my blog reader. any idea why?)
