Location of my future PhD writings...Grendel's Den near Harvard ;)This blog is being written for a few reasons:
1. I am no longer studying in a foreign country, but that doesn't mean that my life isn't interesting. I am discovering new things about tiny little Sebastian and Vero Beach, Florida all the time. I have also been blessed with amazing ministry opportunities and friends. God is good. That alone warrants some writing.
2. I like to write. Not sure why. Not so sure it's all that great, I just enjoy the act of writing. I have been doing a lot of it lately. Some of what I write brings me to interesting thoughts, ideas, tangents, that I would love to talk about and sometimes I do.
3. I have told some people about my desire to go back to school at some point. Preferably Harvard. I visited the school over the 4th of July weekend this summer and LOVED it. I want to be a Harvard PhD student so badly. However, I believe the only PhD programs they offer are centered on Law and Business. I want to delve into The Bible. Specifically the words of The Bible. Words are so powerful. Many people have heard that words can edify and destroy. The world was created with words. Think about it. Words created the world. That would make it the first art medium, would it not? "In the beginning was the Word...All things came into being through Him..." John 1:1,3 I want to explore this through this blog.
So, it may not be spectacular, but I have officially begun this blog. And because it is not necessarily about me, but about discoveries and connections with all that I love (God, Art and Involving People in the discussion of the two) then I will be more apt to keep it up. There is so much to discover in the 66 books of The Bible that God gave us. And to think, there was so much more He could have given us that could fill volumes upon volumes of books. God is and always will be the most intriguing, exciting, and intellectually stimulating God ever discussed on planet Earth.
Also, if I do go for my PhD with this subject of Words and The Bible, this blog will provide a good place for all my notes and ideas. It will also show me the progression in my writing, because the Lord knows it could use improvement.
For now, good night, and thanks for checking in :)
