About me

I know there is an "about me" category over on the right there ---->  but that is simply my Google+ page, and really doesn't say a whole lot about me. So here is a little bit about "me"

"I think". These two words probably are the best two words to capture who I am, There are two main aspects to these words and if you were to talk to any of my past roommates, they would probably agree these words best describe me. The first aspect to these two words is: they are an action. According to Google, the verb "Think" is to:

1) have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something.

Or 

2) direct one's mind toward someone or something; use one's mind actively to form connected ideas.

This, I do a lot. I constantly puzzle through new ideas and predicaments, and I like to puzzle through them with other people. I also come from the worldview of Christianity. This also effects how I think and what I puzzle over. However, I also don't just come from this one single standpoint when I am trying to puzzle over things. There are two definitions above, the first definition drastically effects the second definition and limits it, and the second definition is how we as humans come to the opinions, beliefs, and ideas in the first definition. I simply try to allow the two definitions operate separately in order to get a holistic view on the world.

The second aspect is: they are an introductory statement declaring uncertainty (as in "I think I like. . ." or "I think we should. . ."). I tend to use this statement quite often because I am a very uncertain person and the best word to describe me would be inconsistent. This is not always a bad thing I hope, but one thing is for sure: it keeps things interesting.

Hopefully when reading my posts, my blog will help you think about various subjects and let you know things are happening in my life. Later posts will describe to you the three main influences in my life: True North, The Rez, and Lancaster Bible College.
