Christian testimony and background: I was saved in Sunday School at age 4 at Trinity Church, San Antonio. I grew up in an independent interdenominational Assemblies-of-God-like church. As any early child convert, I did not understand everything pertaining to faith and Godliness, but since that time I've been growing in the Lord ever since.

I felt a definite leading of the Lord to a future music ministry at a summer camp during middle school. Since then I've been leading worship in various capacities at the churches that I've attended culminating with the worship leading position at The Light Church in Denton. I've played piano since 1972 and I have written and produced two instrumental CDs. My music website is ToddLMusic.Com

I attended Oral Roberts University for one year then switched to Texas A&M to finish my undergraduate work. It was at A&M where I met my sweetheart Debbie. We have 4 kids, 3 boys 13,12,9 and a baby girl 1 year old.

Pertaining to the age of the earth question: I have studied this issue through web and book research since 1991. There are times when its been an upfront main issue of study and times where it has taken a back seat to other issues like the Arminian vs. Calvinism debate.

I am thoroughly committed to the inerrancy of the Bible and the fact that God created absolutely everything in a period of six "days" as Genesis indicates. The question at hand is how long were those days - and if you interpret those days as long periods of time - does this do injustice to the infallibility of the Bible and is it allowed by proper Biblical hermeneutics. That is the question that this blog attempts to address.
