Hello World

Well hello, friends and strangers. Welcome to the inaugural post of this blog... My blog, where I hope to journal my thoughts and ramblings is this journey through life.

Some would say this is a long time coming, seeing as I make my living working on web applications. I suppose it's time to stop and actually use a popular web application for a change, but being the Christian that I am, I don't really find myself to be so self important that I would expect people to care what I think or feel about a particular thing. So, I intend on using this blog as more of a journal for myself, as well as a place for friends and family to connect with me since we tend to be spread out over large distances these days.

As most who know me would say, I am a Christian. Hopefully that is evident to anyone looking at this blog. If not, I apologize, I still have a human nature after all. And of course, being a Christian, I must share with you the Good News. It is stated rather simply by Paul in 1 Corinthians:

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have
fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

- 1 Corinthians15:3-8

I would encourage you, should you not know Jesus as God and Lord, to seek Him. I have sermon podcasts linked to this blog that I have found most helpful in my walk, and hopefully they can provide the same to you should you be interested in learning more about God, and indeed the very meaning of life.

Peace,
Ryan
