English speakers have for 1500 years found contractions to be a very efficient way to speak our complex language. Yet, it took an almost-two-year-old to come up with our latest contraction: el'bow="all by my," as in "I will climb up into my carseat el'bow self. I think he has a future in linguistics. We're going to submit it to Websters.

About brandon
I'm a United Methodist pastor serving in Alabama. I serve as associate in charge of evangelism and discipleship. I preach weekly at my church's contemporary worship service.
I have an M.Div. from Duke Divinity School, and a BS in Business Admin. from Auburn University. My high school alma mater is the Alabama School of Fine Arts.
Some of my hobbies include playing guitar and piano and reading. My favorite authors include Stanley Hauerwas, Richard Hayes, Donald Miller, and William Willimon (not just because he is my bishop).
My wife, Jennifer, and I live in Alabama with our cat, Gracie. We have a 20-month-old little boy.
