For my second post, I thought I would share why opening this blog is a big deal for me. People close to me have often recommended I open a blog and share my thoughts on my areas of interests. I would dismiss their suggestions with excuses about being too busy or not thinking it was worth my time. However, there was a deeper reason underlying my excuses.

This blog will catalog and record my musings about philosophy, theology, and other topics of interest. I will try to keep it fun and interesting. However, I will also use this blog as a means to share parts of my heart that I've shared with very few individuals and as a way to process my own thoughts and feelings on events and life in general. As a reader, you can expect some technical writings though I will try to be as clear as possible and will provide ample warning when engaging in any specialized material. You can also expect plenty of references to geekdom and overall nerdiness. I hope you enjoy reading my ramblings as much as I'll enjoy sharing them. Welcome to my blog!
