About

I am a simply man, attempting to know what such a statement means.  I eagerly desire to grow in my knowledge of the Lord and how I can better serve him.  Attempting this blog may help to develope my writing skills, make sense of some arbitrary thoughts in my head, and keep some individuals updated with my life.  Regardless, I pray my words can impact other people, whether one or a thousand.  This is who I am; I pray this person can help make this world a better place.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
- Saint Francis of Assissi
