Re-Introduction

K, so here I am writing my blog again. Unfortunately I'm also writing this post for the second time, teach me not to save my work as I go. Over the last few months I've been going through a minor crisis, I've had more and more stress in my life and no way to get rid of it. My duties at work have been steadily increasing and so have my hours, all the while my health has been decreasing. At this moment I find myself lying in bed recovering from a recent surgery. I had developed an infection from my untreated Crohn's disease, I suppose I figured that I could just walk it off. Chronic disease? No big deal right? Any way I've had plenty of time to lie around and think lately, and feel like it's time for an outlet for my thoughts.

This blog has gone through several iterations, it has been worked and reworked a dozen times. I've redesigned it time and again and thanks to some help from my darling bride I've finally decided what I want to do  with it. This will be a blog about the things I'm passionate about, the things I most love to ramble about. My family, food, politics, books, movies, games, and my job.

I know that politics can be a pretty dicey subject, and even more so  because I probably won't mention anything unless it's rather controversial. Having said that I'll bring up political matters for two reasons; first to state my convictions and opinions, second to hopefully gain an understanding from opposing view points. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and as such I believe strongly in following the example set by Christ himself. First He made His stance known and didn't hide from who He was, second He loved those who opposed His view points and understood them better than they knew themselves. I'm not perfect, not even close, and sooner or later I will offend someone, it is my hope that anyone who disagrees with me will open a line of communication and I can begin to understand them and their views better.

I'm really excited to start this project, I hope you'll continue to follow this blog. I'm working on setting up a notification email and newsletter, but until then if you want to know when the blog is updated follow me on Twitter or G+

Peace folks I'm out,
