Why I Want to be a Renaissance Man

After awhile of not blogging I am back.........I just have way to many thoughts, opinions and stories that my friends are starting to get tired of them.Much has changed since I last wrote a blog. I am now a soldier in the US Army , its not bad but I do not too much care for my job as a Chaplain Assistant and currently trying put in my officer candidate packet. I will probably never go into full time ministry for a church . If I do any official form it will just be as a volunteer or unpaid. I do not like the Idea of a church firing you just for reasons of pay.

This blog will be different that the past it will be a broader scope of subjects that just me , the church and the stuff I use to write about.

It will be about philosophy, politics , history , military , war , love , peace , the news and a lot broader range of topics. I am going to try and treat this more as an opinion column rather that an autobiography. I am going to try to bring more Facts and true stories of history to the table.

I want to be a renaissance man because I enjoy being well rounded. I do not want to be stuck in one type of thinking I want to look at all sides. I want to give my opinions and thoughts from many different foundations. Wikipedia defines and sums it up well (curious how would you format or give credit to Wikipedia?Forgive me plagiarism Police)

"A polymath (Greek polymathēs, πολυμαθής, "having learned much")[1] is a person whose knowledge is not restricted to one subject area. In less formal terms, a polymath (or polymathic person) may simply refer to someone who is very knowledgeable. Most ancient scientists were polymaths by today’s standards.[2]
The terms Renaissance Man and, less commonly, Homo Universalis (Latin for "universal man" or "man of the world") are related and used to describe a person who is well educated or who excels in a wide variety of subjects or fields.[3] This idea developed in Renaissance Italy from the notion expressed by one of its most accomplished representatives, Leon Battista Alberti (1404–72): that “a man can do all things if he will.” It embodied the basic tenets of Renaissance Humanism which considered man empowered, limitless in his capacities for development, and led to the notion that people should embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible. Thus the gifted men of the Renaissance sought to develop skills in all areas of knowledge, in physical development, in social accomplishments and in the arts."
And that basically sums up what this Blog will be about and who I want to be and leave a legacy as.
