The Beginning

Hello y'all!

First, I want to explain that I am new to this whole "blogging" thing, and I have to admit that I was a little skeptical to blogs in the beginning. My wife is an avid blogger, and she is always frustrated with me that random people in Timbuktu read her blog more than me. I simply say that I live the writings, so why do I have to read it? And, gentlemen, let me tell you that you should probably stray away from comments similar to that one!

Since I see my wife's enjoyment with blogging and I also hear several friends and acquaintances embellish their blogs, I thought I should give it a try, so...

To begin, a little about me. I am a 20-something engineer who works in Mississippi but lives in Alabama on the shores of the Mobile Bay. From the title of this blog, hopefully you can discern that initially, I am a Christian, who believes that Jesus Christ is God's son, and His death on the cross allowed anyone that believes in salvation through Jesus Christ to have a relationship with God and live eternally. Secondly, bowties symbolizes "all things Stuart," which encompasses a various assortment of "my favorties" including golf, cigars, seersucker, and a delectable dinner. Lastly, the title includes elephants, not to say that I have a deep love for the mammoth beasts, but to show that I thoroughly enjoy politics, and with this delight comes my belief that the Republican Party is, no doubt, the party with the ideals that will allow the USA to be a properous nation.

Now, the thoughts behind my blog, which is going to be a little different...

Have you ever wanted to write a letter and share your opinion with someone who you would have no chance at ever talking to, such as Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, or Ke$ha?

Probably not, but I have, and because of this thinking, I have created this blog as my attempt to share my thoughts with a person in the form of a written letter. I hope you enjoy reading my letters, and please feel free to share your thoughts and comments.

Happy reading!!
