Welcome!

Hello out there! Well, I have to admit, I wasn't planning on starting a blog. I just wanted to check out a friend's blog, and then somehow I ended up creating my own. But I think it was a little intentional. I mean, I saw my friend's, and then I just kept clicking and filling in answers and picking a picture, and then the button said "Create Blog" and I was, ok, let's do it!

Come on now, who doesn't like to fill out information about yourself, your personal likes and dislikes, your interests, your favorites, etc. I'm not making excuses for myself; I'm simply noting that these blogs and other online sites draw a big crowd because of human nature. We like to know, or at least believe, that someone out there cares about us. It's comforting to realize that we're not alone, that we're not the only ones who feel a certain way about stuff. It's the way God made us, to desire interaction and fellowship with other people.

Unfortunately, a lot of people create blogs so they feel loved and all that jazz because they DON'T feel loved by the human interaction they already have. They lack a deep, real, loving relationship with the One who loves them more than life itself.

 So in essence, that is why I am here, on my own blog, writing about humanity. I know that I am loved by that One who died for me, and I hope to share this love with someone out there who doesn't yet know how loved and adored they are. Hey, if that's you, post a comment, and we'll "talk." Remember, it's online, so there's potentially no risk. But there's always the chance that your life will get changed forever. Talk with y'all later! ~Bek
