Well, thanks to my beautiful and talented wife, Juliette, my blog is finally set up and this is my first post. The pride in me would like to say that I will be able to say deep and profound things, but to be honest with myself and my readers, the vast majority of my thoughts are neither deep nor profound. So, I am just going to write in a familiar voice similar to the voice I would to my friends and family. Hopefully, something great and profound will just miraculously appear on screen. If it does, it will be entirely the act of the Holy Spirit who dwells within the hearts all who accept Christ into their hearts as their Savior. It is my goal to be more honest than I would be in a regular social setting. If you are not a believer, I hope you will not be put off by by the beliefs you find here and hope you will find something worthwhile and will continue to follow my blog. If not, I hope the blessings of our creator will be with you.

Finally, I dedicate this blog to the triune God : Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is my sincere desire to be guided by the Holy Spirit in my words in each of my posts. I end this post by quoting the

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
