Why?

Why do this? Why start a blog?

As I see it, we live in a really complicated world. There are different hemispheres, different countries, different languages, different races, different occupations, different interests, and different ice creams. Then in the middle of it all is us. We are stuck in our bodies, in our skin, in our eyes and most suffocating of all, in our own minds. We spend our whole lives trying to escape this. We try and break free of the monotony of ourselves and try and connect to the world and people around us. We join clubs, travel abroad, learn languages, read books, develop relationships, end relationships - ultimately to try and relate to this world around us. Yet when it comes down to it, it's really hard. It's really hard.

Then something else comes into the equation though - a Creator. Then our methods and motivations for connecting to this world seem a little futile, a little misguided. Suddenly the motivations become bigger and grander - something we can't quite wrap our mind around.

This exists for that reason, so that we can collectively wrap our minds around our own existence. So that as a group, we can help each other. We can ask the tough questions, give bold responses, share funny stories, share shameful stories - all in an attempt to understand this life and this God which we all hold so dear to us.
