Just a thought
In writing my apologia pro vita mea, I have discovered that I have a profound affection for a very narrow set of mentalites and ideologies that have, in the most historical sense, accounted for the lion's share of Mankind's tumultuous blasts and explosions of achievement. Only a besotted Faust would attempt to keep up with the magnitude, variety, and growth of this great proliferation. I have a confident suspicion it is only natural that these olympian principles will prevail and continue to define a Great People. I would infinitely prefer to raise my glass of tea to toast the clarity and definitiveness of such principles, rather than drink the Kool-Aid mixed with the euphoric and debased low expectations of those collective ideological despotisms that, as a primary objective, attempt to lock the human spirit within the dark dungeon of compromise and relativity.

Depending on what these "ideals" are, I might agree w/ your assessment in the above blog-post! :)
I found your blog by googling the name. I am a minister in Lexington KY and I bought an old theology text today from a Goodwill store in Nicholasville. It is Carl F.H. Henry's "Christian Ethics;" a 1st edition copy in immaculate condition. In the front of the book is inscribed the name "Rev. Donald C. Boyd, Blue Eye Chapel, December, 1957."
Is this perchance your father? or is it just coincidence? It's just kind of a thing I do whenever I buy old theology texts; I too have a history degree and like to investigate where my books have been before they come into my hands.
Alas...you can let me know at pastorleap@yahoo.com or leave me hanging! Just thought I'd ask.
