It appears that there are a number of Colin D. Smiths online, so for my own sake, and for the sake of all those other Colin D. Smiths in the world, I thought I would provide a short bio to let you know which one I am. I was born in a British Military Hospital in Germany to an English father and an Irish mother, and moved with them to my father's home city of Hereford, England while I was still little.  I attended Marlbrook County Primary School (1976-1981) and Hereford Cathedral School (1981-1988 for any fellow Old Herefordians that might be reading this) where I was presented with the best educational environment the city had to offer. Sadly, I didn't take as much advantage of those educational opportunities as I should have (unlike some of my former schoolmates, for example: Rev. Dr. Jonathan Arnold) but I still managed to do well enough to land a place at The University of Hull (1988-1991 for those who care) where I read Theology and graduated with a B.A.(Hons.) in the subject. I married a crazy (she would have to be to marry me) but lovely American in 1991, and we moved to the States the following year.  I have been living in North Carolina since then, currently residing near Greenville (note, that's Greenville North Carolina, not the other one in South Carolina). We have six children, and, though staunchly Reformed Baptist, we are members of Christ Presbyterian Church in Winterville, NC.  In 2011, I completed a Master of Divinity degree through Columbia Evangelical Seminary under the mentorship of Dr. James R. White.  I play various musical instruments, read (mainly theology, history, and assorted fiction), and write.  I even occasionally contribute to Dr. White's blog--when I have something worthy to say. So no, I'm not that Colin D. Smith--that other one is way more interesting... :)
