Hello, my name is Scott Powell. I am a (nearly) lifelong resident of the great state of Colorado and currently a teacher and graduate student in Biblical Studies. While I’ve never been one for rants and soapboxes, it seems that sometimes they are simply unavoidable. I hope for this blog to really be a place for neither, but rather, a place do discuss, reason, and hopefully work out some thoughts on the more substantial questions in life.
I am passionate about many things; life in Jesus Chirst within his Catholic Church which I believe he established to draw us closer to himself and begin to usher in what he and Saint Paul called the “new age”; or rather, the age of the resurrection. Likewise, I am greatly in love with the outdoor world, and protecting it (thus making me something of a “Catholic environmentalist”–an oxymoron? I think not). More than this, I am passionate about my wife Annie and the family which we pray to have someday. We live contently with our somewhat needy dog Scout, near Boulder where we are working on bringing young people to a deeper understanding of God, themselves and others through outdoor adventures.
On that note, I also enjoy cycling, skiing, backpacking, reading, cooking, gardening, coffee shops, microbrews and having good times and good conversations with family and friends. So again, welcome. Please make yourself at home and try to avoid and forgive any clutter that might develop.
