Vanity of Vanities!

All is vanity!

Why Vanity of Vanities?

Before I get to my blog’s title, I’ll tell you why it’s even here.  The most simple and straightforward answer to this blog’s purpose:

To share…

  1. Jesus (often referred to by His Aramaic name, Yeshua, just because I think it’s cooler)
  2. My story
  3. My thoughts
  4. My struggles
  5. What Yeshua (see, isn’t that cooler?) is teaching me
  6. And anything else I find important, necessary, funny, ridiculous, or entertaining on any given day.

I honestly just write about whatever I think about writing.  I go through preachy spells and silly spells and everything in between.  I try very hard to be honest and I am always learning how to overcome this weird (and often idolatrous) brand of Christianity we Americans have manufactured.  I am always on a quest to be more useful and more authentic and, mostly, more worshipful. 

In a sense, the thesis of my blog would be: Everything exists because of Him, through Him, and for Him.  Focusing on anything else is meaningless.  Or, you know, vanity.  ;)

But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.  More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ
~Apostle Paul
