So... What's this all about?

This blog is about thoughts, ideas, and passions I would like to share with other people. I am not much of a writer but I hope to improve my ability to coherently express my self through the medium of the written word. I intend to write about the things that inspire me such as: thoughts, ideas, books, films, music, theology, sports and numerous other topics. I want to write about subjects that engage minds to think, and make people examine and reflect on how they see the world. 

The title of blogs seems to be rather important, so I took some time creating the title. Consequently it is a little long and needs some explanation. Notes on Life: "walking slowly but never backwards." comes from an Abraham Lincoln quote originally, "I walk slowly, but I never walk backward." This quote does a superb job of summing up how I want to live. Striving every day to improve my LOVE for God and glorify his name by becomeing more like his Son, Jesus Christ. Don't worry I am not going to "be all religious," get preachy, stand on a "soap box," or try to shove my ideas down reader’s throats. I plan on asking questions and sharing ideas and interests with others. Hopefully along the way some people will read what I write, enjoy it, and learn something new or comment and teach me something. If not that’s fine, I will continue writing and "walking slowly but never backwards."

To the future, What to look for? In the upcoming weeks I plan on writing several post about: a movie, a music album, my history professor, and what God has been teaching me.
