And We're Off!

Well, here we are, doing the blogging thing. I guess the place to start is at the beginning so here it goes. My name is Marty and I have started this blog to share my 2 pennies about the thoughts that cross my mind. I have been known to have a few "strong" opinions on many different topics, shoot some would say that I am pigheaded, well let me tell you what I think about that.......

No really, I am an easy going type of person, I just have convictions that I stick to (sometimes to my own detriment it seems) but I am generally easy to get along with. If I offend you with my comments please know that I do not go around sporting for a fight, I will just tell it like see it.

I am a committed Christian and believe that there is only one way to have a relationship with God and that is through the acceptance of Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah.

I am a committed family man who believes in the sanctity of marriage and in the strong family unit. I am proud to say that I am married to my best friend in the whole world, Joyce. We are currently working toward our 25th year of marriage and I can honestly say that it is a labor of love and I cannot imagine my life without her by my side. I am the proud daddy to two wonderful sons who have made outstanding young men and I am looking forward to the day that they take the steps into family life of their own.

I am politically conservative with strong libertarian leanings. I am a firm believer in the strong individual making a life for himself without the hindrance of government ties to bind him down. I believe that less government is the best government. I am proud of our countries heritage and consider myself to be a patriot.

So, this is me in a nutshell... but anyone that knows me knows that there is so much more to me than that. I will be happy to share more of my life with you and probably throw out a ton of pennies as we go along. Keep tuned in cause you may miss some astounding remark, an incredible word of wisdom or just some goofy thought that squeezes out of my brain like toothpaste (you just can't tell).

Later,
