Going through an old journal today, I came across this attempt at poetry I wrote at some point in my son’s childhood. Haden is now a great father, loving husband, and a faithful pastor, leading others in worship every week. I couldn’t be more proud of the man he has become. The internets are telling me that today is National Son day, so I thought it appropriate to share.
My scribblings penned sometime in my son’s childhood
Scot Loyd is a follower of Jesus Christ, activist and a liberal arts educator. In all these roles, he is continually pressured by social expectations of what he should be. Through his writing, speaking, and activism he hopes to demonstrate that the solution to the problems of both religion and politics lie in being inclusive to diversity, rather than trying to wall others in to our own expectations. Scot also seeks to challenge others to think clearly and critically about what they believe and why they behave in accordance with or in contradiction of those beliefs.
Scot has coached champion collegiate debate teams and individuals, and has been featured as a keynote speaker to various National and International audiences. Scot has earned two Masters degrees, in Communication Studies and The Philosophy of Heritage Studies, at Arkansas State University, where he is also a PhD candidate in Heritage Studies. He is currently serving as a debate coach and Communications professor at a Private University in the Midwest, United States.
