So I'm new to this blogging business, and I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to post yet. You're likely to find a lot of John Donne, G.K. Chesterton, and C.S. Lewis here, along with a few musings of my own. But I've been convinced for a long time that there is nothing worth saying that hasn't already been said, so mostly you'll get the words of people who have said greater things than I can say, along with a few musings of my own.

I'm a graduate student in southern Mississippi with an interest in writing, literature, religion and philosophy, and a Catholic view of things. I'm sure it seems strange for an aspiring writer to say that there isn't anything worth saying that hasn't been said. I don't have any illusions (or at least, I hope I don't) about my chosen occupation. I think it's the job of any writer to say what he or she believes to be true in a new way. New audiences often require new presentations of things. But as a writer, I know that I can and should always return to those who have said greater things than I will ever say, and have said those things with more skill and mastery of the language than I will ever possess.

Hence this blog, which will probably not be very unique. I only hope to provide some bits of wisdom that might have been forgotten, and perhaps a few of my own humble insights along the way.
