Welcome!

Welcome to the brand new JefferySexton.com, where I'm just going to have some fun. I'll talk about the things that interest me and whatever is running through me head that I want to write about, and y'all can feel free to join in the discussion at any time.

Among what you may find here:

Discussions of books/movies/music/video games I'm digging at the moment.

Random philosophical/religious insights

Posts about my life/family in general.

Who knows, we may even throw in some sports or other random stuff occasionally.

New Project: Sons of Thunder

So I announced this on my facebook and twitter streams a month ago, but I want to get it up here too…

After 2 years of political blogging and a lifetime of reading, I’ve decided to turn my pursuits in a slightly different direction, at least personally (I’m still a programmer by day):

I’m going [...]

Footloose and Christianity

Last Friday on my way to work, I heard the “family friendly” review of the Footloose remake that opened this weekend on my way to work via Augusta’s WAFJ, and the reviewer was adamantly opposed to the movie because of the way he felt it portrayed Christians.

I actually had the chance to see the [...]

NaNoWriMo 2011

National Novel Writing Month is something one of my twitter friends has been talking up for quite a while, and I’m leaning towards being a participant this year.

The basic idea is ti write an entire 50K word manuscript in a single 30 day month. MY idea for participating is that it will give me [...]

It Is Official… x2!

So I told work this morning, and therefore I can put it out publicly now: I am leaving my job at the Savannah River Site outside of Augusta Ga in two weeks for a *SENIOR* Software Developer position at a leading anesthesiologist billing firm.

But that’s not all folks!

In addition to a bit of [...]

Requisite Sept 11 Post

Where was I? I was an 18 yo kid living at home while going to college at the end of the summer that began with his HS graduation. To this day, that summer is probably the “iconic” summer of my life – though this past summer, 10 yrs later, certainly rivaled it. I had gone [...]

I Need Your Help

So two weeks from right now I’ll be on board the Carnival Fascination somewhere in the Atlantic between Jacksonville FL and the Bahamas. It should (and will) be a life of luxurious nothingness for 5 days and 4 nights where my biggest worry will be do I want the lobster or the filet mignon. I’ve [...]

Been A Fun Summer

Summer is nearly over, but it has been one of the better ones since my school days – if low key (which, as I get older, is good ).

It started out with me finally living with my wife again, after two months of separation. Not that we were “separated” in the marital sense – [...]

FOR SALE!!!!

As most of you know, I’m currently living in Aiken SC. I moved here a month ago, while my wife is still in Leesburg finishing up her teaching contract with the Lee County School System. Memorial Weekend, we’re FINALLY reunited on a permanent basis again. While I’ve enjoyed the past month of learning to date [...]

The Fate of SWGAPolitics.com

Yesterday, during the 3rd Annual Crossover Day Live Blog, I made an announcement that shocked some who were with us:

SWGAPolitics.com is dead.

SWGAPolitics.com has been a grand experiment for me, a life changing one. I took a concept from my mind and made it one of the most well known political blogs in the [...]

Watchtower Is Down

I’ve taken down twitter and Facebook for at least a day, possibly a few days. In that time, I’m going to try to excercise control to barely look at politics in general.

I can’t explain the reason in a way that will make sense to my non-Christian friends, and even to many in the churches [...]
