I Like Renewal.

Because I keep starting blogs and giving them up and starting them and giving them up because their scopes are too narrow and I'm too lazy. This blog will center on the theme of things I like. Because I think that if I could pick something that I hope defines me, then it would be my ability to allow hope and joy to win out in the face of my equal proclivity to point out everything that I see that is wrong. And cynicism cannot win. In the end, I remain convinced that this world is full of beauty and I remain thankful to the God who remains my only way of seeing this.

If you ever need to get back to the old one:

Also, as is customary, I will begin by posting something that I like that has come to start off most of my blogs:


Toaster! Hate Him!

A soft, glaring light
The refrigerator hums anarchy
and calls the other appliances to rebellion.

"Lies!" I say to the Toaster
your facade may be White
but your heart is as Black as mine. (or the coffeemaker's)

"Of course," it replies.
"If I follow the refrigerator I will surely die.
For his way is bleak and cold
and preserves the old,
but still I cannot help you.
For you are a harsh master,
it is 4 AM,
and if your toaster speaks to you, it is time for bed."
