Hello internet community! :)

I've always thought it would be a cool idea to have a collumn titled, "A Fish out of Water", but I never took the initiative to look into it. lately, I've discovered this new motivation to TAKE that initiative and DO something about all those dreams...even if they're baby steps in the right direction! The internet community has proven it's self an effective way to build popularity and get yourself out there and noticed, and all from the comfortable convenience of your home! (If you happen to have an internet connection at your home that is...) Not to mention, where ever you can find an internet connection, you can log on, which makes it a highly portable profession/hobby. Either way, there's no requirement to actually stand face to face with people, so the embarassment and awkwardness can be spared, and you can blissfully block, delete, and ignore all those pesky critical remarks.

So, the idea for the title "A Fish out of Water", comes from the fact that I am a christian living in 21st century America, and more and more, I feel like I don't belong. This doesn't really bother me, considering we're called to "be in the world but not of it" and "this world is not our home." So I suppose it's a sort of accomplishment, who knows. I don't really care if this world accepts me as their own, because the only one who's opinon matters is God's, and he'll take me just as I am, no strings attached. Sure his standards are high, but his forgiveness is endless and unconditional, and he promises he'll help me. It's a motivator like no other to be a better person!

This blog will consist entirely of thoughts, opinions, and stories, based on my life and my beliefes, so yes, I will talk about God. If that's something that bothers you, I would sugest you find another blog to read, because I'm not going to stop telling the world about my God, and I'm likely to ignore, block, or delete comments that are discriminatory to my faith. That being said, I will try my best not to offend other people's beliefs, and I will stay away from politics as much as possible because I find it depressing and pointless to argue it, hense I'm really quite ignorant on the subject. I'm here to talk, philosophize (that's my word for higher order thinking on a topic. :-p ), share faith, joy, love, sorrow, frustration, etc, and otherwise offer my bits of wisdom and opinions to whom ever wants to read it. :) And if I develop a pretty good readership...well then...maybe I'll go the next step for that collumn.

Untill we meet again,
