Matt's Web Page

My name is Matthew R. Enos or just Matt for short. I am an electrical engineer by training, but I exibit evidence of rightbrainedness from time to time. Railroads are a hobby of mine, as are electrical things. Right where these two hobbies overlap are railroad signals. I like them just as much if not more than the trains themselves.

Railroads run on less track than they once did. There is a common misconception that railroads are a dying industry. This belief exists because railroads are no longer a direct part of most people's lives. Passenger trains have been replaced by automobile and air travel. Also, as the number of people employed by the railroad is much less, fewer people have family employed by the railroad. Finally, the caboose and its occupants have been replaced by later technology. Yet, on the remaining track, freight service has made the remaining railroads as strong as ever today.

We live in an age which prides itself on appreciation for diversity. We don't like to see groups of people descriminated against or reduced to icons. Yet society has, to a large extent, reduced the Judeo-Christian community to such a condition. As a secular worldview becomes commonplace, we see people of faith represented by finatics, extremists, and hypocrites. Wrongly so! It has been the mistake of many sincere believers of these faiths to retreat from prominence in everyday life, that is, to demonstrate their value to society by living humbly and uprightly in accordance with their nature and beliefs while going about their daily lives.

In much the same way as railroads suffer a lack of recognition and are yet a vital mechanism to our economy, so Christians, who have failed to vindicate themselves in the midst of post-Christian secularism, remain prominant in the fields of morality, integrity, and optimism.

This is the second website of my creation, the first one being effectively destroyed by subjection to unfortunate technical circumstances. My new website is very similar to the first. While retaining some of the old articles, I have also introduced some new ones in an attempt to offer more original content. It is the hope of the author to present something that will be interesting or helpful to his readers.

The content is arranged into the following few categories with corresponding links below.
