Welcome!

Welcome,
There is a lot to say. I feel like I might need to sum up all of my experience for you in this first blog for contextual purposes. Then everything else will make much more sense. But maybe I should start fresh. It might give me more credibility depending on what you might think of my past life. If you know me as a body and not as a blog than you already know of some of my experience and it might just be re-iteration. Also, a life story would be hard work and I will be the first to admit that I have been stricken with laziness at this point in my life. So.... I'm starting fresh. I have convinced myself.
One of my friends and roommates has a blog in which he pointed out the reasons for which people blog. I quote, "People blog under one of two presumptions: 1. That they have something worth saying 2. That someone cares what they have to say." He continues in wisdom with this: "While I make no assumptions about the latter, I hold higher hopes that in the Lord's grace my thoughts can contribute to the growth of other people. The written word is powerful and can take people to deep places."
This is a particularly wise friend and I am going to also make no assumptions about other people wanting to listen to what I have to say but more importantly my hope is that God's grace will be upon my thoughts and that he will work through them.
Lastly and humbly, I will say that my thoughts are weak and that if any strength is shown it is not because of me being great but it is because there is a God that is trying to be a part of me that is shining through my brokenness. I am too young, too influenced by the culture around me, and am not a genius. I am very confident of these things. All I will do is try to be as honest as possible and hopefully that can be respected by readers. If not than feel free to attack my ideas. I will probably cry but I will get over it. Maybe.
