Hello World!

So, I am occasionally interested in the idea of blogs.  I don't really read them but the nature of them intrigues me.  The way I see it a blog is essentially an online and interactive public journal.  I don't journal.  I never have though I did make a couple attempts.  This is mainly because I never saw the point.  I know what I'm thinking and while the ability to go back and look at how I used to think is amusing it isn't enough to warrant the effort.  But I process by discussion, explanation and argument.  I have come to realize that this is even more true than I ever believed.  Putting my thoughts out to the public in an organized fashion which allows space for feedback seems kind of cool.  And it will maybe allow me to spare the facebook universe from my sporadic status rants.  Read if you want, comment if you have something to say.  I will almost certainly be interested to hear your thoughts. 

So what will this blog be about?  Nothing specific.  I'll probably talk a lot about God, music, philosophical dilemmas and things I overheard which gave me pause.  This is an experiment.  Let's see where it goes!  I'm going to keep this first post short but if you find my posts on facebook interesting there's a chance you will find this blog amusing as well.  Also, just due to the fact that I have very few reservations about what topics I am willing to discuss publically there's a chance you may end up learning more about me than you ever wished to know.  Oh and as for the title... its a reference to 1 Corinthians 1:27.  "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;".  As Christians we are the foolish things.  I know my own foolishness so incredibly well and am often amazed to see what God uses my foolishness to do for his glory.  I think that will be it for now but I will probably following up soon with a post that has a topic of some sort.  Until then may the peace of God which surpasses all understanding be with you.
