The purpose of this blog

Hello all,
The blog that I will now begin to compile will serve several purposes.

One thing I would like to do is let people know how I am doing while I am at college. I am currently attending Taylor University, in Upland, IN. I am pursuing a Music Education degree, with which I would like to teach choirs and to share with them the same joy I felt when I was in high school choir.

I am enjoying school, because there are so many people here that are friendly, personable, and have the desire to show an interest in your life. The quality of education at Taylor is very high. I believe that God has called me here with the intention of drawing me closer to himself, and eventually to share with the world the gift of music, spefically, vocal music.

Another completely seperate reason why I want to start this blog, is to discuss sports and my thoughts on whatever is happening on the Wide World of Sports. I will admit that this blog will be biased, so watch out if you are a Michigan, Steelers, Pistons, or White Sox fan. Ultimately, I hope to keep those of you who used to love talking about sports with me the chance to re-engage in such an activity.

Thirdly, but perhaps most importantly, the blog will be used to discuss spiritual things, in particular, the need for Christ. I'll be getting into more details later, but my hope is that this will be a chance for you to learn how I'm doing, and to hear what I'm thinking about.
