No where to hide...

So here we are in the year 2005. Life can be pretty good depending how you look at it. Globally there is a lot of suffering. But me, I'm hidden behind a wall of government that shields me from ugliness. As an American life seems pretty well balanced. Now I am a geek and enjoy benefits of the internet so recently I had to remind people I work with that the internet is part of the world and being plugged into it is just as dangerous as taking a walk outside. The dangers of the internet are not just outside of the country of course. As a matter of fact, for Americans the internet is a safer place to perform crimes that are illegal in this country or even all countries for that matter. Viruses are out and Spyware is in. People have evolved from destroying your computer to just hijacking it. Oh well. I know where I stand. This is a fallen world and I am as much to blame for its sins as is everyone else. I believe that Jesus is returning to take us away from this world and let me be the first to say I won't miss the technology when I leave. Technology has been a great tool for surviving a fallen world but praise the Lord it will not be needed in a perfect place one day.

Things are well with my soul. Last week at work was awesome as we had special guests at our campus for chapel services. Tommy Oaks and his son Jonathan lead our services for our Spiritual Emphasis Week and it was a great time with the Lord. This weekend we had a great time at our new church that is a church plant we have joined. We started meeting with a small group and it was a great time. That church is a bunch of great people that are all happy to get to heaven and happy to show others the way. There is a great love for Jesus there. On what is obviously a different note, I started playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. Man that is an addiction I will have to monitor. It is a great game but it is hard to find good stopping points. Perhaps that was the idea...

Another day

It seems like just another day for me. I am resisting writing a controversial stance on some topic as I do want this blog to read much like Journal and less like a news review site. So this morning I am getting ready to dive into a lot of work in technology. I know it doesn't sound that fun but there is always something cool about finding a better way to do something for the institution for which I work.

Hopefully if I just keep typing a little each day my words will begin to have more meaning for myself and others. It is all about practice and discipline but as a geek I do little reading and writing and I truly should change that about my life.

Why Plowblade?

The definition of my last name, Coulter, is "a sharp steel wedge that precedes the plow and cuts vertically through the soil". Hince the name plowblade. I hope that my thoughts express a similar effect. I want to bring my comments to the front of discussions and separate the truth from the lies so that the truth can be clearly seen or at least receive it's deserved attention. My aim is not to make this blog political or religious in nature. However it will feel like that at times because of the nature of my heart in matters of God and the state of the world. I am also an ecclectic person so many of my comments may come out of left field at times. Regardless, there is a point and purpose for my writing and God knows what that is better than I do...

Hmmm... I am beginning a journey. This is something new to me. A recorded reflection of myself. Sometimes my childhood memories are brief and I cannot quite remember what I have done. I never was the sort of person to take a lot of pictures, so I have few memories of recent years as well. Perhaps keeping a blog will accomplish a sense of communication with others that think the way I do. Perhaps I will wake up profound one day and write the great American novel. Whatever happens here, at least I know that I will be able to reflect back on how I felt the day I wrote something down. I have always failed at journal writing in the past. So now this experiment in my life begins and I will see just how it goes from here. Maybe I will have something to say after all. I am beginning a journey... from now until I die.
