Truth

So I have been randomly playing with creating some computer backgrounds that incorporate things that I am passionate about. There are several key words that carry significant value to me. One of those words is Truth. Striving towards truth and understanding it is a driving force in my life. If I must change my perspective in order to better see the truth of a matter, I want to change. If I must dig to find it, pass me a shovel. And if I must humble myself to express it, I desire to have the humility to do so. But in the process of working on this background, I came across these couple of verses which I want to describe me:

I have chosen the way of truth;
I have set my heart on your laws.
I hold fast to your statutes, O Lord;
do not let me be put to shame. I run in
the path of your commands, for you have
set my heart free. - Psalms 119:30-32 (NIV).

I would recommend reading this chapter…it is simply wow.

Simply Amazing

This past week has been simply amazing. As I did last year, I went to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC.org). There I was surrounded in a sea of young men and women who want to advance the conservative ideas and principles I so deeply believe in. Though physically exhausting, it was mentally invigorating. I got to hear from Presidential candidates and the President himself. I got to network with people and be exposed to new ideas. But what I believe I enjoyed most about the weekend was that I learned that I have more friends back home who’s heart beats similarly to my own. They see a need to get involved politically and to be a light for justice and truth in an arena that far too often distorts these values. Despite whatever happens in the near elections, I have an optimism that God is at work in the long run and America’s best days are ahead of her. I will never stop fighting to point people to this future and to do ever I can to stand by my nation as it stands as a light of hope in a often dim world.

Here are some photos from the weekend:
