Parameters

One problem I had with creating other blogs and I even struggle with while contemplating starting up another, was that I felt like I needed a focus of a blog in order to have and maintain the blog.  And not just focus, but a narrow focus, like a specific topic such as the many flavors of jello and my opinions of them.  Okay, not that narrow, but most blogs have a topic centered agenda.  I follow a couple organization blogs, and by follow, I mean I have them bookmarked and never read them.  It's just for that one day when I will organize my life (I will discuss this at a later date).  Anyway, that was my problem and I couldn't find a topic that suited me that I would be interested in writing about for a long period of time without repeating myself a million times.

So, I solved this problem by no longer worrying about finding my niche and just blogging about whatever.  All of that to say, that I will not set parameters or define this blog by a topic or genre other than just living life.  I will talk about my life, my thoughts, my opinions, my likes/dislikes, and whatever other nonsense comes to mind.

Awesome, now that you (all of my many followers - 0) know that there are no rules to my game.  Let the games begin...

Excuse my very poorly used Hunger Games reference...

Existence Undone

Today marks the day that I am actually going to begin a blog and use it.  I have had several failed attempts over the past few years.  Each failed blog had a purpose, but either the focus was too small or I just didn't have the time to put into it (that I would have liked).  So here we are again, at the beginning of another beginning.  I'm not sure that my life is quite interesting enough for anyone to read about my adventures and mishaps, but I'm going to write on nonetheless.  If I had a bucket list, maintaining a blog would be on it, so here goes to checking that item off a non-existent list.

Now on to answering a possible question you may have: Why the title Existence Undone?  My response is, "Why not?"  Okay, that isn't my real response.  My real response is as follows: Over the past year I have that as follower of Christ, I am called to live a life like Jesus.  And now you're thinking (if you're a Christian), "Umm, duh!"  But it's more than that, the point of living a life as Jesus is to show others what that life entails and how awesome it is.  In turn, by imitating Christ, the door is opened for discipleship to happen.  Discipleship is what we are put here to do, so that is what I aspire to do.  All of that to say, this blog is a chance for me to share my life, my journey, my God, and everything that comes with those things.

I'm interested to see how this will play out because I have no plan.  I hope you'll come along for the ride.
