About

My name is Paul Shirley.  Currently I am on the pastoral staff at Grace Bible Church of Brandon & a seminary student at The Expositors Seminary.  These two aspects of my life take the majority of my time, but they are not at the top of my priority list.  That slot is reserved for Jesus, and then my wife and two daughters.

Cup of Coffee Talk has been a place for me to share my thoughts, work on my writing, and share the word of God for some time now.  Over the years the blog has become a collection of expository thoughts from various passages.  On the blog I have posted notes from Galatians, James, Jude, and now I am working my way through the book of Mark. Usually the posts on particular bible passages are simply sermon notes reformatted to fit the blog.

In addtion to these expository notes I will occasionaly post other material (i.e. sports, Firday quotes, politics, etc.).  In this category of “other material” there are two criteria that I use to decide what makes the blog and what gets left off.  The first criteria is, does it interest me?  The criteria test is, will it benefit my readers?  Usually I only post something that I think will fit both criteria (but sometimes the first criteria is the only one that really matters).
