Hi. My name is Buddy Brinkley. I'm an Electrical Engineer. It's Monday morning (February 26, 2001). I just woke up for work and suddenly I'm writing this. It just came to me. This is not my typical Monday, for sure. Might as well just go with it -- here goes... I've been a Christian for quite some years now, and I've made an observation about Christian literature -- not much of it is geared toward folks with my kind of brain. I want the facts. I want them quickly, concisely and logically expressed. I don't want a lot of fluff in between. Don't waste my time with a lot of symbolism and allegory, and don't bore me with cute stories or emotional testimony. Just give me the bullet points and the details that I really need to know. Oh yeah -- make it short. I prefer the "Cliff Notes" version. So, with that in mind, here goes my contribution to the world...
