You never saw this one coming (if you did, just stay quiet about it)

Welcomes are overrated.


Important things you need to know about me if we're both gonna be happy on this blog:
1) My name is Luke, NOT Lucas. Deal with it.
2) I'm a J. R. R. Tolkien freak. If you don't know who that is, go google his name; it's worth your while.
3) I'm an aspiring writer and filmmaker. Emphasize "aspiring" on the "filmmaker" part.
4) I live in the greatest state of the Union, Arkansas (notice I did say the greatest state in the Union; no stars and bars here, give me Old Glory all the way!). More specifically, in the northwest section, which happens to be the prettiest part.
5) My dad is a Southern Baptist pastor who has currently been at our small church for fifteen years. My mom is the coolest homemaker this side of anywhere. I have four younger siblings: a brother (aged 16), a sister (13), a brother (10), and a brother (6). Oh, and I'm legal at 18. Yeah baby, power to the adults.
6) Last but the opposite of least, I serve a King whom I have never seen. I had spit in His face and rebelled against His rule, thus earning the penalty of death. But He sent His Son to die in my place and then adopted me as His child. Everything I do, everything I am, it all comes back to that. He isn't just number one in my life; He's everything. At least, He should be; too often I still rebel against Him and break His heart. But He loves me anyway. Even cooler than the fact that He does all that for me is that He's willing to do all that for you, too. If you want that, just call on the Name of Jesus.


OK, now I've gotten this first post out of the way. Thanks for sticking around this long. Stay tuned for something (hopefully) a bit more substantive in my next transmission.
