In the Beginning

Life is a series of beginnings and endings. At the end of every stage, I find myself at the beginning of another journey. I find it ironic that I am beginning this blog at the end of my freshman year, but, such is life. 

What to say, what to say... This blog may or may not be used often but what I do type I hope and pray that it will be both edifying to the reader and glorifying to God. 

I have entitled this blog, "And These Three Remain" in reference to 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And these three remain, faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love." There is much truth in that verse, for both religious and non-religious people. We all hope, we all place our faith in something, and we all desire to love and be loved, in fact I would argue that love is one of the most powerful forces in this world, a powerful force for good or evil, but a powerful force none the less.

As a Christian I have chosen to put my faith in Christ, my hope is in salvation through Him and it is all held together by His wonderful love for me. 

I am by no means perfect, I fully expect to make mistakes on here, I desire to learn and grow and mature, always seeking what is True. Pilate asked of Jesus, "What is truth?" and I think it is a question well worth asking. I tend to be rather cynical, a bit skeptical, and I am often plagued by doubt, but these things allow me to process my thoughts and come to clearer conclusions, allowing me to better understand and be stronger in what I believe. I am inspired by the message of 1 Corinthians 13:13, we need to have faith and hope and love in this world, love is the greatest of these three things, and love does not disappoint. 

Well that's all for now...
