Prelude to a Weblog

I've decided the world needs another blog. If that sounds scary, don't worry. I'm going to try not to impose myself onto the internet the way so many other blogs do. In fact, most people won't even know I'm here, and I'm okay with that.

Before I get into things, I should probably tell you what I'm doing here. The overarching purpose of this blog is practice. I want to get better at discussing matters that I think are important. Admittedly, many of the things I think are important are things I haven't spent enough time writing, reading, or thinking about, so this is one of the steps I'm taking to fix that. I freely admit that I don't know everything about the topics that interest me, and I hope to use this space to develop them into something more substantial, or at the very least, profitable.

I certainly welcome comments, criticism and feedback so long as they're above the current internet standard of lame misspelled bumper-sticker. I'm not going to be advertising this thing, so I don't expect many visitors beyond some real-world friends and maybe the occasional drifter. Again, that's okay with me. The last thing I want is an unwieldy horde of e-rabble belligerently deflowering my comments section.

That's about it for now. Assuming I don't immediately get bored with blogging, there should be more posts in the future.

By the way, I'll be talking about God and stuff.
