Excerpts From a Stream of Consciousness

 Dear reader, I feel the compelling urge to warn you that what you are about to read is quite literally my stream of consciousness (Yes, I absolutely LOVE that phrase! It emphasizes so well how my brain processes things.). It scares me to think about how much my readers may possibly learn about me through my writings, since I try to be as open and honest with myself as I can about what I'm feeling and pondering, and those things will manifest themselves throughout my writings. In fact, my biggest fear in actually "blogging" these writings was that people would get to know more about me than I was comfortable with them knowing, but I've decided to use this opportunity for personal growth. If you as a reader find some meaningful content within these writings, Praise be to God! If not, know this - I am writing this stuff for my personal sanity; I can only hope that these writings challenge you to think.                                                       -------------
