Hello, How Do You Do?

"Go, happy Paper, gently steal,

And underneath her Pillow lie;

There, in soft Dreams, my Love reveal,

That Love which I must still conceal,

And, wrapt in awful Silence, die."

-Aaron Hill, "The Messenger"

Hello and welcome to the...well, let's see, aside from the dust gathering in some corners of my mind, several notions scattered about in an untidy fashion, and the lack of a speedy hardware (I fancy the typewriter when expressing my thoughts) welcome and welcome again to my humble cognizance.

I don't blog often but it's something I'm trying to work on in order to make clear the mess of my introspection. These ramblings, rantings, and ruminations posted will be about a journey. Mostly a journey about self-discovery, God, and the Christian life. I aim to encourage, be enlightened, and well, entertained if not challenged to new concepts or perspectives I've yet to think about or come across.

The blog name was inspired by a poem I've stumbled across in a lovely book titled, Pamela by Samuel Richardson. It's a beautiful piece that stole my breath away upon first reading it and I hoped to share the magic of these words with you as well.
