We’ll begin by asking why I’m here. Simple, to publish content that takes just a bit more space than a Facebook post. We live in a TLDR (too long, didn’t read) world and sometimes that’s okay. I get it. It’s the word-laden equivalent of those flashy videos that promise something amazing if you just watch all ten minutes to the end… and then nothing happens. Sometimes you’re just not looking for that. Eh, who am I kidding? Most of the time we’re not looking for that. But the world doesn’t work in sound bites and headlines. Sometimes we need to dig a little deeper and that’s what I’m going to try to do.
So what will we find? I’m not sure. I don’t have a grand scheme. I didn’t do a flowchart and I didn’t set out on a five year plan. I have very little idea what this will all look like and even less of an idea if anyone but me will look at it. And Mom. Moms always look. Hi Mom!
What’s in a name?
The Fourth Watch refers to the Hebrew time of just before dawn. If I’m doing my job I’ll be calling out the enemy from afar in the darkest of night.
Oh, so is it going to always be dull politics or religion?
No. I hope not. It’ll be a lot of that but I’m not a one trick pony. Maybe you’ll find some movie reviews (it’s January of 2021 right now so hopefully they’ll make some more of those), maybe some game reviews, though don’t get excited. I’m an avid gamer stuck in the body of a man that has other responsibilities so I won’t be digesting the latest games every two days like a stoner downing iced tea and cheese curls. No offense. There’ll be some dashes of just about anything if this whole experience catches on.
That’s that
As simple as that. Nothing flashy, nothing over the top. So if you like to read and like to think I invite you along. Come with an open mind and an open heart. Be willing to challenge yourself and yes, you can challenge me. May the Lord bless you and keep you and may we all be able to reason together.
