On the surface, "3ptscott" might sound like a clever nod to basketball—a three-point shot, precision, focus, and a bit of flair. And while I wouldn’t mind being mistaken for a court-side strategist, the name holds something far deeper, something woven into the fabric of existence itself: the Trinity.
The Trinity is the divine mystery of three in one—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It’s not just a theological concept; it’s the foundation of being, creativity, and connection. At its core, it reflects the balance of unity and distinction, a perfect harmony that breathes life into all things.
Three Points of Existence
For me, the "3pt" is more than just a name; it’s a lens to view the world. Here’s how I see it:
Creation (The Father): The source, the origin, the ultimate awareness from which all things flow. Creation is not just about beginnings—it’s about the ongoing act of making, shaping, and sustaining. It’s the divine spark that whispers, "Let there be."
Expression (The Son): The Word made flesh. Expression is the embodiment of ideas, the visible form of the invisible. It’s the story told, the life lived, the meal savored. It’s where the abstract becomes tangible, where eternity steps into time.
Connection (The Holy Spirit): The unseen force that binds, inspires, and moves. Connection is the breath of life, the still small voice, the thread that links one story to another. It’s the rhythm of the universe, drawing all things toward unity and love.
A Personal Trinity
"3ptscott" also reflects how I approach life and writing. It’s not just theology; it’s deeply personal:
- Mind, Body, and Spirit: The interplay of thought, action, and presence. Writing becomes a way to integrate all three—to reflect deeply, act intentionally, and find meaning in the stillness between words.
- Experience, Reflection, and Sharing: Every story I tell flows through these three stages. Life is lived (experience), distilled (reflection), and then offered (sharing)—a rhythm that mirrors the Trinity’s essence.
- Faith, Curiosity, and Creativity: These are the pillars of my work. Faith grounds me, curiosity drives me, and creativity brings it all to life.
Timeless Truths in Everyday Moments
The Trinity isn’t just a theological framework; it’s a way of seeing the world. It’s in the sacredness of a shared meal, the joy of an unexpected laugh, the stillness of a quiet moment. It’s the harmony of life’s seemingly fragmented pieces coming together into something whole.
Through "3ptscott," I aim to capture that—life as it is, yet seen through the lens of something greater. My writing is a practice in noticing the divine in the ordinary, the eternal in the fleeting, the unity in the chaos.
So, Who Is Scott?
When I’m not writing, you might find me traveling with my wife, Michelle, indulging in a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, or exploring local restaurants in search of a meal that tells its own story. Born and raised Methodist, I’ve always been drawn to the interplay of faith and curiosity, constantly seeking new ways to grow spiritually and intellectually.
I’m also a lover of quiet moments with our dog, Captain, an avid reader of theology and philosophy, and a firm believer in the power of words to connect, heal, and inspire. 3ptscott is my creative home—a place to reflect, share, and invite you into this journey with me.
