Who is SSXG…?

This blog is not about me.  However, you may wonder who is behind the keyboard…

I am a husband, father and grandfather.  Several years ago I retired from a career as an elementary school teacher.  I am a member of an evangelical church.   I have been a lay preacher for many years.

When I was a boy, I had an autograph book.  On one occasion, I asked a Christian pilot for an autograph.  He signed his name and after it wrote ‘SSXG’ – meaning sinner saved by grace.

That is who I am.

  • I am a sinner because I have sinned in thought and word and deed.
  • I am saved from my sin and have eternal life because I trust in Jesus Christ who died and rose again.
  • I am saved by grace.  The life I experience in Jesus I owe entirely to the grace of God.  There is nothing I could ever do to earn salvation or to repay God.

Oh, and that’s my wife’s calico cat sleeping on my shoulder!
