My name is Thomas Maerke.
As an English teacher, I railed against flat, one-dimensional characters in literature. They're necessary for brevity in story-telling, but when it comes to our own lives, lived out in reality, presenting ourselves as flat or one-dimensional seems like less. And I don't want less. I want more. So, I have come to say, "I am more than the sum of my parts." I hope I don't come across as one-dimensional, but if I do, please know there is a lot more available. I'll give you the same benefit.
Here are some of my parts:
family = husband, father, son, brother, uncle, cousin
faith = Christian
job = educator
interests = soccer, reading, getting things done
Those parts, and many more, mixed and mashed up, make me who I am. Honestly, I think that's what I'm working out here on this blog: the mixed and mashed and more part.
