~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would be difficult to summarize what this blog is “about,” and hence the title. It is about life, about love, about inspiration. Essentially, this blog is dedicated to being alive and engaged.
But, perhaps it would be helpful if I laid out the presuppositions that undergird the posts:
~*~Learning to live a life of love, love of God and love of neighbor is the purpose of our existence on this planet
~*~Attempting to find what is good, true and beautiful is the goal of intellectual activity
~*~Attaining wisdom is a pursuit worthy of our highest energies and will make for a much better life.
This can all be attempted, but not accomplished without the gospel.
I hope that your mind is challenged and your spirit uplifted by what you read here. And please feel welcome to comment.

Your Highness Ariana,
Magnificent wisdom, expressive writing, and blog growth. The Perfectionism article is particularly compelling.
Thanks for so much enlightenment from such a young person.

This means a lot Guy! Thanks so much for stopping by.
A lot of your logic is very good for beginning learners. But you argument for supporting religious views fails. Just because someone tells me god has appeared to them, I cannot accept that as a fact. Evidence is evidence; we have not other way to get at truth.
See the 36 arguments for the existence of god. You can see them free here. http://www.oxfordhumanists.org. You will see excellent logic AND epistemology there.
I am not sure which arguments for supporting religious beliefs you refer to. I don’t believe I have offered any such arguments, as neither this blog, nor the contents of the page are apologetic in nature. The posts here typically assume a Christian audience; though of course, all are welcome to read and comment.
If you wanted to plug your site, all you had to do was to say so.
