An Explanation

This blog regularly features a column entitled "Friday Night Frozen Dinner and an Intellectual." Before it is begun anew for this year, some confusion concerning this title must be put to rest. On Friday evenings, I sit down with a book, magazine, or web page by a Christian or secular author. My impressions arising from my encounters with such material are written on this blog so that the reader may respond. Some have asked me, "Are you the intellectual?" No. The "Intellectual" referred to in the title is not me, but the writer whose work is being evaluated. "Fridays" and "Frozen Dinners" are included in the title because I am a single guy who cannot cook and who has nothing else to do on a Friday evening. Not that I mind reading on a Friday evening. Those who know me and have my number may call on Friday evenings and ask me what I am reading and express their own opinions. I might include these opinions when I publish this feature.
