I know it’s a little early to start something new. I would normally wait until January 1st, but by then I may lose a bit of my zealousness; it comes and goes.
I just wanted to start a fresh blog; something that carries a bit more substance than just chronicling my everyday life, but rather a record of my thoughts as they change over time. Hopefully, they will be for the better. I’ve seen a lot over the last couple of years. I’ve been in churches, in school, traveling the country, living with friends, living alone. All of these new experiences affect the way a guy thinks about the world. It’s a much bigger place than I ever imagined. I’ve seen a lot of good things – much of God’s glory expressed through people, nature, music… the list goes on.
On the contrary, I’ve seen a lot of bad things – Bad motives, bad theology, bad doctrine… this list is much longer than the latter. The worst part is that I’ve seen many (if not most) of these insufficiencies in myself. As I struggle through these thoughts, I want to remember where I’ve been. At the very least, I would like to expose my inner controversies so that I might grow. At the very most, I might inspire someone to do the same. Either way, I’m making this journey. If anyone decides to join me, that would be fantastic. Otherwise, most of my musings will be cast into a deep digital abyss. However, I will always be able to look back and see where I was and give glory to God for what has happened. That will be worth all of the trouble.
