Concerning Introduction...

Greetings,
So, I made a blog…  Yea, I didn’t see that one coming either.  In any case, hi there!  My name is Josh and I’m glad that you found your way here for whatever reason.  So let me tell you why I am doing such an absurd thing as making a blog.  I first had the idea for this blog whilst driving back to college at Vanguard University after this past Thanksgiving break.  As I drove I was reflecting over the past couple years, and in particular the past semester, and how much I had learned, relearned, and even unlearned many things.  Many of my thoughts circled around how my ideas and understandings concerning God, church, faith, spirituality, and other such things have radically changed in recent times.  With this in mind I started playing around with the idea of maybe-possibly-perhaps starting a blog-type-thingy.  Concerning this, I didn’t think along the lines of, “Wow, I have learned so much and it is my duty to share this knowledge with those who are ignorant of what I now know.”  What I thought was far more akin to something like, “Wow, I am learning so much and the more that I learn the less that I feel like I know.  I bet that there are plenty of others who are going through similar things and asking the same kind of questions as I am.  I know that I would appreciate an occasional insightful word or two every once in a while and I’m sure that there are others out there who would as well.”  With that in mind I decided that it might be a neat idea to keep a blog of my thoughts “Concerning God…” in the hope and desire that maybe something I say will be of insight to you.  So please... read, enjoy, and do whatever it is that people are supposed to do on a blog. :)
Blessings,
-Josh

Disclaimers: (read these they might be kinda funny)

*This is not an account of my life. If you want that go to Facebook.
*I in no way claim to be always ‘right’. I do however, try to be always honest. Even an honest person can be mislead however, and I encourage you to use both discernment and Scripture to measure the things that I say.
*Grammar is not my friend.
*For whatever reason I always assume positive intent in what people say/do and as a result often foolishly expect the same in return. (Basically, if there is a good way and a bad way to interpret what I write, chose the good way.)
*I am quite aware of the the vast theological depths that naturally accompany many of the topics that will be discussed here, but for both my sake and your own, I'm going to keep things at a more reader-friendly and accessible level.
*Feel free to disagree. Let's just keep it mature shall we?
*Feel free to obsessively refresh the page hoping for new posts, but don’t hold your breath.
*I don’t really have any idea what I am doing so give me some grace!
*And other stuff that I can’t think of right now...
