Welcome to BarryDean4Christ!
My name is Barry Dean Schneider hence the blog site title. I live in a small town near Omaha, Nebraska with my wife Robin and the one remaining child at home. I say remaining because we have six children in total. I also have three granddaughters. Meet my granddaughter Olivia. She is the one getting loved on by Grandpa Barry Dean in the picture.
I am a Christ follower first and foremost. I love my wife and family. I am learning over the years that really does mean it when he commands me to love my wife as Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for her. I am learning to love Robin like that as God graces me with each new day. God wakes me up each day so that I can serve and glorify Him. It is my desire to serve Him and enjoy each day that is given to me. God created me unique to glorify and I serve Him. I serve Him by serving others, studying His word, working as a technical consultant to provide for my family, making music, building guitars, and now exercising. But these are only a few of the things God has graced me with the ability to do.
This blog site is dedicated to Jesus Christ and seeing Him proclaimed through the written word. It is my desire to use this site as a means to communicate and journal my thoughts, and to encourage those who might stop by and read. It is my own personal challenge to try and add something to this and other blog sites each day. I love to dialog about our Lord. So please stop by and sit a spell and leave some comments of encouragement or insight and I will be blessed by it.
I just visted your site today after seeing your post on Irish Calvinist. Very nice site. Have a good weekend!

Great Site
I sat and read for awhile. My wife and I listened to the music you linked on your current post. We’ve never heard of this band; we both liked it. We are in Phoenix and are raising 2 children of our own.
Great site, Thx
Mike,
You are most welcome. I appreciate your odedience to the Lord and His calling on your life to preach the gospel. I love to download and listen to your sermons.
BTW your younger brother is not to shabby at preaching either.
This is a wonderful site. I sat here and read it all even the stuff you wrote last year. Its very deep and very insightful.It is a wonderful thing that you dedicate your entire site for God. I really like it.I also enjoyed reading about your guitar your making. I never knew that about you. I will pass this blog site on to others so they can enjoy it as much as I have.

Amanda,
Welcome to the world of BarryDean4Christ. I appreciate the comments. I am happy that you read so much of it. Especially since its coming from my oldest daughter. I first created it as kind of a self sounding board. Then not long ago one of the pastors at our church who has a great blog site called Irish Calvinist put a link to my site on his site. Now I get more comments from folks I have never met before, engaging in conversations about Christ and theology. It is a very cool side bonus.
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.
Love,
Dad
Barry, it’s good to “meet” you. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m bookmarking yours now, and I intend to visit often.

Hello,
I dropped by via your comment on my blog. Thanks for stopping in.
I added you to my blogroll so I will be able to stop in here and read in more detail the wonderful things you write about.
Thanks.
In His Word,
Scott
Hi Scott,
Thanks and I will do the same.
Really nice site. I’m just getting started. But I hope to glorify the Lord with my blog as well. God is Great! Peace to you and your family.
Thank you LadyJane63. Welcome to the blogosphere. God is indeed great and worthy of all praise. Thanks for the comment.
Barry,
I like your blog! Do you have a personal e-mail address where I can get in touch with you? I’d like to discuss something music related. Thanks!

Barry,
I am a nursing instructor and would like to contact you regarding use of one of your images. Please let me know a way to communicate with you. Thanks, Sally
I believe that God would be pleased with your blog, but can Comcast offer uncapped internet usage in Heaven, and will cables stretch that far? Just wondering, Jeff
Nice blog. I’ve been a long-time reader of Irish Calvinist, but just wandered over here for the first time today, and have enjoyed reading some of your thoughts. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the time and effort in putting your blog up. I am a missionary in Alaska. Thanks for putting up some interesting things. I remember going through Nebraska in 1977, the Lord needs us where we are.
Barry?
I’d like to point out the Solomon’s website has several blank pages. It’s not professionally designed, it appears to be in a wordpress format. I visited their website a while back and it wasn’t on the same system as it is now, which leads me to believe they haven’t filled in all their information yet. I do not attend Solomon’s Porch, but I know people who do and would identify myself as emergent, and most people within the emergent conversation have very definite beliefs on the nature of the local church. I’d be happy to speak more on these if you like. But I wouldn’t interpret a lack of content on a website as a lack of belief on the subject.
God bless!
