Disclaimer and Purpose
This is a personal journal where the priorities are to:
- Keep a personal and memorable history
- Relay my beliefs and ideas
- Serve as a source of reflection
- In some manner act as a testament to my faith in Christ
- Let my family and friends read about my daily life and my thoughts
The content that I post and write is not officially related to my faith, school, or other affiliated institution. Although what I write may have a strong foundation in my faith, school, or other institution, they are ultimately my ideas; they have their basis in my understandings and perspectives. In saying that, I also would like to claim intellectual property.
Note on a personal ethic and value: If I happen to use profane language in any portion of this site, I hope it was used only in a quote. That is the only time I believe it would be justified. To my best ability, I try to refrain from using those dirty words.1 I’d encourage you to not swear either. It does nothing and is not worth it.2
- Justin Timberlake from the 2008 ESPY Awards said, “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?” Likewise, I think we should keep our mouths clean so we don’t smother our mothers faces with some mouths-in-need-of-soap. [↩]
- I’m actually debating this thought. Perhaps profanity can be used as a means to express anger; from this perspective I am trying to view vulgar language in a literary and expressive context, similar to how an artist would view the nude body different from a just-hit-puberty boy. [↩]
