My First Post

Well, hello!

This would be my first post, to my first "blog." Although I do have an out-of-date LiveJournal account, I've always considered that as a literal "journal" as opposed to a blog. Perhaps there's little difference, and I suppose it is pointless to try at length to differentiate between the two.

My name is Jason. I am a Christian; by which I mean I love the Lord Jesus Christ and do my best to serve Him with my utmost. Of course, I do fail miserably at this as we all do to one degree or another: but thank God for His grace and mercy, and that His mercies are new everyday. I attend and actively participate in church on a regular basis, and I believe without the local church I would be a very different person today. My Pastor and church family have been there for me for years and years, supporting me and praying for me throughout the various goings-on of my life. I thank God for saving me, and for establishing me in His house. It is truly a blessed thing.

I am married to a wonderful woman, Amanda. She is truly my best friend and would definitely be considered my soul-mate. We have been very happily married for almost three-and-a-half years, and I couldn't ask for a better, more godly woman to walk through this life with. She is amazing. We currently have no children, but we're believing that in God's timing we'll bear some seed, so to speak.

I absolutely love music. I have been playing drums for about ten years now and still enjoy it very much. I have been drumming for my church's praise and worship team for that same amount of time and have been very, very blessed in doing so. I love listening to music and feel that various artists and genres of music greatly move me and inspire me. I'm quite artistically-oriented, although I can be logical at times, too. Not to say artistic people aren't logical, but as I understand it there are typically logical people who use the "logical side" of their brain while artistic people primarily use the "artistic side" of their brain. Perhaps I float between the two; I don't know. :)

I suppose as far as my personal introduction goes, I'll leave it at that for now and close-out this post. I hope you, the reader, enjoy reading the content of this blog as I continue to update it. I hope to inspire some, make some laugh (or at least chuckle), and I am certain to offend some (if not many). May God richly bless you today.
