Boring Introduction

The title of this blog comes from The Prayer of St. Francis, which I kind of adore. It goes like this:

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
...Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born
to Eternal Life.

If I could live my life with this prayer in mind, I think I would die pleased. So anyway, I created this blog because I just can't stop writing about my life, and if there are people out there who want to read about it, I will oblige.
