Well, welcome to my blog. I’ve tried this once before and it didn’t work out too well. I’ve decided to give the whole journaling thing a try. I DO NOT promise that it will be well written or exciting. I don’t claim to have any original insight or answers to any cosmic questions. I’m just a guy, In love with my family, happy with my life, and trying to catch a glimpse of a God I do not fully understand.
My life had been difficult at times, but also it’s been good. I’m happy sometimes, sad sometimes, mad sometimes and ADD all of the time. If I make some big declarative statement it’s because I know what I like and not because I think my opinion is superior to others. If I come across as brash or arrogant, it’s because I grew up around a lot of people who are brash and arrogant and that was the only way to survive. Or, it’s because I am overcompensating for insecurities. Either way I hope to be completely honest in this place.
If you have found this journal on purpose or by accident, I hope you find something you enjoy. Please comment about any topic.
To start the blog off right, here are some life statements that will give you a glimpse of who I am.
I BELIEVE God is alive and real and that he knows us better than we think
I BELIEVE photography is the best way for me to enjoy his art
I BELIEVE relationships are more important than being right
I BELIEVE Jesus wouldn’t feel comfortable in most churches that carry his name
I BELIEVE Mexico is the place I am happiest
I BELIEVE the Mountains in Smoky Mountain National Park come in a close second
I BELIEVE this generation of teens are smarter and more “together” than my generation
I BELIEVE happiness cannot be found in more stuff (even though I’ve tried)
I BELIEVE Led Zeppelin is greatest band of all times
I BELIEVE that lately I listen to Dave Matthews Band more often that I listen to Zeppelin
I BELIEVE my son is a genius, and so is my wife
I BELIEVE my Dad is my best friend
Mostly I believe that Jesus was the greatest example on how to live. I wish more “Christians” would examine how he lived and not define themselves through politics, popularity, wealth, or any other artificial standard created by this world.
Peace, george

It will contain posts on my personal faith, stories of the church and youth group I work with, reviews of the books I'm reading, my personal journey as a beginning photographer (photos included), and other random items of little intrest

Hey man welcome (back) to the blogging world, Fred Peatross is plugging your name around. I like the picture of you with GW....clever.
"I BELIEVE Jesus wouldn’t feel comfortable in most churches that carry his name"
Right on, with this statement.
Yes, I believe Jesus is comfortable in most Churches of Christ. Why are you slamming the coc?
Not really slamming the COC but church in general. Too many times "church" focuses more on itself than it does the people outside the church. Plus, Jesus wasn't really confined to the four walls of a building.
I agree with you on all counts of belief. Led Zepplin is incredible, even if I can't spell it.
