Introduction

Thus begins the first post on yet another blog. I've done a few of these now, and too frequently lose interest or else just lose track of time and fail to update. With any luck, this one will be different.

So welcome to my outlet.

In answer to the first question that I would ask: No. There is no specific purpose for this blog beyond musings and thoughts. While this blog is far more casual than any I've done before, it's not going to be simply random and pointless thoughts. I'll include reviews and thoughts about films, music, and other goings on in the world. Feel free to jump in and make a comment - if you bring up an interesting point or get me thinking about something, who knows? You could end up being the subject of the next post.

Don't let that deter you though.

A bit of pre-knowledge for you. I'll explore a lot of different things, and it's only fair that you know a few things about me before I start in on this. I live in Texas, I dislike politics in general, I am a Christian, and I am married. Any comment I make is bound to come from that background. So in order to avoid someone getting their panties in a twist, I'd like to make a mention of one of these specifically.

I am a Christian. I believe that the Bible is the holy word of God and is complete in its veracity. That being said, I adhere to the type of Christianity you'll find in the works of C.S. Lewis - a reasonable faith (that is, a faith supported by reason), and as such, you will rarely hear me espouse a position that demands one support a tenant of theology simply "because the Bible tells me so." I believe in dialogue and respect above all else - everyone has the right to believe what he/she wants to, and I'm not going to snub you over a disagreement.

So, that being said, let's see where this goes!
