Confessions.

Forgive me, bloggers, for I have sinned. It's been quite some time since my last internet publication.

I find it phenomenal that I've left my thoughts to be strapped down in the confines of my mind for this long. On the one hand, I'm impressed. On the other, it's infuriating. The latter of the two reactions is what caused me to start blogging again after a good two to three year hiatus. But, there's a purpose to the blog.

"Well, what is it?"

Excellent question - I'm so glad you asked.

I'm a student at Oakland University, and in my meanderings around campus, I've experienced various moments that have made me realize that we, who are supposed to be the Light of the world and the Salt for the Earth, have moments of complete epic failure. These moments are not limited to OU, though. They can be found everywhere - every social environment, every location, around every corner.

The Light of the world is flickering. Hence the title and subject matter of the blog.

"How clever!"

Why, thank you.
