Welcome to my blog, yo.

I can't decide why I'm doing this. I've never been one to need to get something off my chest or really even have much of an opinion on many things (other than Jesus and the fact that the Yankees are a disgrace to the major leagues), but I hope to learn something from this process. I want to bring humor, honesty, and humbleness in a way that isn't too critical or unnerving. It's easier to write how you feel than say it, for me at least, so maybe this will be a good means of expression for that.

All that to say... welcome. Welcome to (hopefully) an optimistic, positive, confident web-log. I'm new at this, so cut me some slack. Be prepared to read about many, many arbitrary subjects and maybe a couple of pensive, yet lighthearted, ones too. Fingers crossed I won't need to be too forceful with my entries, and they will just float out like a feather. But more than likely, I'll have a mess of jumbled assessments needing to be made sense of, and that's where you come in. I've been told that when people read my writing, they can hear my voice in their heads like I'm saying it out loud. So, if you don't know me very well, a lot of this won't make sense to you. I'm just asking that you can all give me the benefit of the doubt, and maybe we'll get somewhere.

My blog title is from a Tenth Avenue North song, Times. The line is "...the times that you feel like you've fallen from grace..." I used this line because it gets me every time. The whole song is great, very sound, but this line smacks me in the face. Like I could really do anything that would demote me to unforgiven. Romans chapter eight says "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." This is one of the biggest issues that I've ever struggled with, and I wanted to name my blog something that means a lot to me. So there you go.

Lylas.
