“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
– J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
I’ve started plenty of things in my 36 years. So many things, I’ve lost count. I have also completed some of the things that I’ve started, in one way or another. I have also given up on many of the things that I began.
I am an optimist-in-training, with an emphasis on “in-training”. I am putting this page out with the caution borne of 3+ decades of failures and disappointments. I do have at least 1 year of experience in retraining my thoughts to embrace good things, which is why I’m finally moving forward in putting my writings out in a more accessible format to a larger audience.
Does the world really need another writer who views life from a Christian lens? Maybe not. But writing has long been my way of understanding life and encouraging others, so if someone benefits from this, it will have been a worthy attempt.
With excitement and trepidation, I’ll take the step and see where it goes.
