An Introduction

© "A More Excellent Hope" by Kendall Davenport


The fundamental drive of our existence is to be acknowledged for who and what we are.  It isn’t for acclaim or approval but for the dignity such recognition grants us.  I believe faith plays a critical role in defining who we are... but it's not the only one.

While my faith pulls from a variety of spiritual traditions, my past affiliation and my affinity for some intrinsically Mormon philosophies continue to shape my experiences.  It has only been after the process of resignation that I have found myself revisiting the rich religious heritage I received from my parents... something I had gone to great lengths to distance myself from.

To be truly acknowledged for who we are, we must first be willing to share ourselves with others.  This is not something particularly easy for me.  The purpose of this blog is to allow me the opportunity to explore, formulate, and share my ideas and thoughts regarding faith, life, and living.  This is intended to be an evolving space... the scope of which will eventually expand.  In the meantime, it is intentionally narrow and not intended to be a complete representation of me or my interests.
