"Just write. Keep writing. Keep a pen and paper beside your bed at night. Write about anything. Write about everything. Write with passion. Write with integrity. Write what you would want to read."

Yes, everything above seems like wonderful advice. Advice that should be easy. Then how come whenever I sit down to write, all I do is stare at a blank piece of paper? I will have an idea, sit down, and chase after it- only to hit a dead end after a page. So,that has now become the point of my blog- to freestyle, get the "creative juices flowing", so to speak. 

Writing has always been a hobby. I love reading, and always have. I love being able to get lost in a world that an author has created. And that is what I want to one day achieve. But, until I get to that point, there will probably be a lot of mindless rambling. And, if you're ok with that, I'd love to have you tag along. Share your opinions. Give me your thoughts. I am completely open.

So, that being said....HERE GOES NOTHING.

How many times has a class really made you thing?I am going back for yet another undergrad degree, and am taking Christian Ethics. And believe it or not, it's more than what the Bible says. We have even talked about and taken personal assessments to help us better understand ourselves. I'm not just talking personality traits and so forth like I had in an interpersonal communications class. This class goes more in depth than things like the Meyers-Briggs personality test and finding out if you're an introvert or extrovert. And it seems like we talk about a controversial topic every day. It is really interesting, especially when you relate it all to the Bible. Our teacher is a substance abuse counselor, and has had many years in that field, so it is really interesting to see how some of his stories relate to our topics. That being said, he has never revealed any names or really any specific details of anything, so I don't believe he is going against any patient/doctor restrictions. But, if you ever get a chance to take a class like this (or even the interpersonal communications class), I highly recommend it. They are both the type of class that make you think outside the box and learn about yourself.
