Intoduction
As friends and family have started to open up their lives through the invention of the blog, I just couldn't fight it any longer. I think that the internet has become a necessary evil in our time and age, and while I would rather voice all of these opinions in person to all who know me, I simply cannot. This is not so much a jumble of my thoughts, as it is a forum. I really would rather hear not just comments, but questions. I want to engage people to grow a deeper understanding of life. I have so many questions and thoughts about life and about the life of Jesus Christ and what that should look like for us as a body of believers. I know that some people may see this blog and find some of this material offensive and ignorant and will critique every little gramatical (I purposefully misspelled that) error. I really hope that is not what the discussion is. I am simply a 19 year old kid who is in search of what it means and looks like to be a follower of Christ. I want more than anything for people to think and respond to this blog. I want to hear people's opinions. We have been given the beautiful gift of free will by our Creator, so let us use it! It is our duty and gift as a group of followers to question in order to find a deeper sense of God's truth, so lets question. These are thoughts from a child of God. This means that you too are included as we are all children of God, so please join in the dialogue.

Max. In your quest to find God on a seemingly godless planet, my thoughts are the following:
First, remember your roots. Remember who brought you into the world and how they did it. Remember the values and ideals you were taught and embrace them. Remember the events that shaped you and the friends that helped mold you.
Second, be you. Embrace your individuality Max. Start scribbling on lifes parchment and don't stop until you have a masterpiece.
Third and finally, HAVE FUN. This shouldn't need explaining, but really, get to a strip club and start makin it rain man. You'll thank me for that someday. Fight the good fight kid.
Graydon, I love you man, and I really like what you have to say... Except for the first and last part... I would encourage you to do the same. Question these things, ask yourself about them, I know I sure have. And as you put, you'll thank me for that someday. I love you man.
Hey, Max. It's good to see a former basketball and football jock growing and maturing. It's interesting to me that so many of your peers are uncomfortable with the choices your making, and its worth reflecting on why that might be. At the end of the day, only you can decide which path will bring you joy in life. In the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare a father gives the following timeless advice to his son, "To thine ownself be true." Seems like pretty good advice to me. Best wishes, bud. Let me know if I can ever give you a hand with anything.
