The Form of Life

It has taken quite some time for me to work up the energy, the desire, and the justification for a blog of my own. However, I have decided that I would simply start, knowing that the direction of my blog may change entirely, and I will see what comes of it. I was contemplating trying to begin in a way that kept hidden many of my biases and my motivation; however, I find that truth is always revealed over time. That being the case, I shall reveal that my motivation for this blog is to speak to the human condition from the perspective of a Christian (and most especially the perspective of a Catholic). Of course, insofar as I can, I would like to keep this blog ecumenically applicable to all of my brothers and sisters who call themselves followers of Christ. Along with that, it is my hope that even if you do not hold this bias in common with me, you would at least read what is said here in this blog and engage with me down this discussion of life.

Thus, I get to my point. Although this may change, at present this blog is about the incredibly enormous importance and significance of our human lives. Hopefully it can serve as an encouragement for us to pursue "a more excellent way" (1 Cor 12:31). Although it is not my purpose to map out what exactly an excellent life looks like, I would like to use this blog to inspire myself and others to shape our lives in the pursuit of integrity and the truth of love. This is so that we can live our lives to a greater extent than we once thought imaginable. Although I am an advocate of doing great things, it is more important that, in our essence, we are becoming great people. Alas, I foresee that many postings will be very practical to this point, but I also believe that many of my posting will be speculative in nature. This is because I believe it is important to provide an underlying framework to understanding the significance of our lives as well as the practical aspects of "becoming" great people.
