I have a pretty big test tomorrow and another on Thursday. I have a 6 page paper due next Tuesday and a 10 page paper due next Wednesday...I figured now would be a good time to start a blog! I've wanted to do this for quite some time and I think now would a great time...
This first entry won't have anything too thrilling in it. I just figured I would kick things off with a welcome entry or a first keynote if you will (not really sure what that even means, it just sounds cool). I decided to start a blog for a couple of reasons:
- W.W.J.D. (obviously - that's a given)
- A good friend of mine/old youth minister has one and every time I read it, I feel inspired. If you don't know who I am talking about, his name is Jonathan Alexander and you should read his blog because it will always be better than mine. (http://jonamdg.blogspot.com/)
- I always have these thoughts or ideas and I never write anything down and I eventually forget whatever it was. I want to use this to begin writing a few thoughts down.
Heaven and Earth Collide:
Their are also a couple reasons for the name of the blog...I think:
- It's a lyric from a Hillsong United song and I was singing this song when I was asked for a title. The song is called "Father" - you should buy it...it's on iTunes
- I like the idea of heaven and earth colliding. I don't completely know why, I just think it's really cool. The thought that at every Mass ordinary bread and wine is transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ and in this, heaven and earth literally collide. I think we can get so caught up in the world that we lose sight of the reality of heaven, and we begin to think that heaven is something that is so far away or something that is just out of reach. But that's not true, it's actually quite the opposite of that.
- I still might change it...
I have no idea where this thing might go. I don't even have any hints for you. We will just have to wait and see. If I have grammar issues, don't talk to me about it! If you actually read this, 2 points for you!
