"I am good at catching and I'm good at swimming and I'm good at dancing and I'm good at running. I'm especially good at running. That's why my name is Chase."
- Chase Matthew Guida, six years old, August 29, 2009
has been a genius for over half a century. Yet, for the first half, the world has been deprived of the greatness that is Jim. I plan to rectify that situation for the second half or, I hope, the greater part of it.
This is not a blog - it is an Almanac. An Almanac of Jim. I do not have the discipline to regularly post interesting tidbits of my life. But I do have a treasure trove of previously written papers, sermons, thoughts and stolen jokes which I will happily share.
I do not expect anyone to read all of my postings. Frankly I'm confused why anyone would be reading even this prologue. But if you find something of interest or value or humor, I hope that it brightens your day. Some of what is posted may seem very academic. Those are likely to be academic papers written for my Graduate studies at Fuller Theological Seminary. Some of the postings may seem "preachy." Those, I hope, are the sermons I have written and presented. I like to believe they sound better than they read. The rest - the short stuff you'll probably read, if anything - are the aforementioned literary detritus. Unless noted, it is original with me.
Enjoy!
