In the words of the song by U2, I am proud to admit that I still haven't found what I am looking for. In the mean time I like to learn, explore, and make observations that often raise more questions than answers. This then leads me to the revelation that I can not escape myself even if I tried. (And I have tried before!) I find it easier to just be genuine.

On this journey I have been led to attend graduate school as a Master of Divinity student at Candler School of Theology, Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. To this others commonly respond, "So what kind of degree is that? What kinds of job do you hope to have in the future?" Unlike many of my undergraduate collegues I have NOT decided to get a MBA with hopes to increase my salary, I have instead decided to get a Divinity degree based completely on my desire to learn, expand my mind, and develop a better understanding of the Christian faith that I continually struggle to grasp. The age old quest to understand the meaning of life, a God that is much bigger than I can imagine, and a doctrine that seems to revolve more around the mystical than the practical has led me to this decision with no earthly idea of what I hope to do in the future. I just only hope that I will be able to have shelter, food, water, and enough money to pay off my student loans.

With that said, I have developed this site to explore my thoughts and feelings through writing here. I have found that my mind often moves faster than my mouth, therefore any form of verbal communication developes into rambling. I have instead found that my writings express my thoughts more clearly.
