Here We Go Again.....

Well, I think it's time that I finally decided to start a new blog. Harding decided to block Xanga this year, so my old blog officially died. So, after a respite from blogging, I thought it was time to join the blogspot world and start writing again.

I'm really excited about writing again. I've got some exciting plans for this new blog. As well as telling about my life, I also want to start writing extensively about two of my passions: God and Sports. I've always dreamed of writing a book, and I think this could be practice for that, and I have also sort of dreamed about being a sports journalist/broadcaster, and I think it would be fun to write about that as well. Since this is the BEST time of the year in sports with college and NFL football heating up, and of course the baseball playoffs all throughout October, I have lots of material. With the Titans playing great, the Cowboys playing lights out, and the Red Sox in the playoffs, the next month might be fairly sports heavy, but I'll back off some after that.

My inspiration for the name of my blog: "Singing a New Song" comes from Psalm 40 which says in verses 2 and 3:

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the LORD.

God has blessed me so much, and has changed my heart, soul, and mind. He has lifted me up and I now sing a new song to him. Now, I don't want what I'm saying to sound cheesy, abstract, or silly. What I mean to say is that I want to be the kind of person that spreads God's joy, peace, and love to everyone I meet (key word: want. I'm not there yet). I want to sing a new song in my actions, words, and attitude. So, this blog is my humble attempt to share that song through my random thoughts and ideas. We'll see how it goes.
