Introductory Post

Hey, folks,

Welcome to this new blog called "Brownie Points". My name is Jeff Brown, hence the name "Brownie Points". This blog will give an insight into the life and times of Jeff Brown. This will include my thoughts and ideas about my life, my job, my home, and my interests which are anything Christianity, United States Politics including Presidential, Gubenatorial, Congressional, and general Oklahoma politics.

I will attempt to update this on a pretty frequent basis and not let this blog set and gather "cyberdust".

Let me give an idea of where I will be coming from on the aforementioned items.

I am a 27-year-old bachelor from Midwest City, Oklahoma. My current occupation is Customer Service Representative working at Oklahoma Natural Gas. I have been at ONG for 9 months. I started on Monday, August 18, 2008 as a temporary employee and was hired on permanent on Thursday, January 1, 2009. I am living in an apartment in the north side of Midwest City/far south side of Spencer, Oklahoma. I grew up in Harrah, Oklahoma going to Choctaw schools. I graduated from Choctaw High School in 2001 and received my Bachelor of Science from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma in May 2007.

I am a Christian who attends a Southern Baptist Church in Choctaw called Woods Baptist Church. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior on Sunday, July 26, 1987 which was nearly 22 years ago. I don't consider myself to be a Southern Baptist Christian, rather a Christian who attends a Southern Baptist Church. In this blog, I will discuss the sermon I heard on Sunday, or what God is showing me in my daily walk with Him.

Politically, I am a registered Democrat and have been for nearly 3 years. I consider myself to be an independent-thinking Democrat with a lot of Republican tendencies. I am a populist which means I'm conservative socially and liberal economically. I'm not a tax-and-spend liberal, but I'm a working-class Democrat. I will put down how I feel on a certain subject on the political news of the day, but I will try to be as bi-partisan as I can be.

This sounds like a lot I'm going to try to take on, but it will be a good blog, and I hope it will be very informative.

I will start the meat of the blog on Sunday, May 17, 2009
