Beginning

It seems to me that many people begin blogs by saying why they are writing them or what they are going to write about so I figure I may as well do the same.

I have had blogs before which have lasted a little while until I have eventually deleted them. Past blogs have been titled sanguine serendipity, surrealist's paradise, and odyssey obsession - that I can think of. It has always been about word play and then the content has been

• 
  
  a) so abstract that you will either know exactly what I am thinking or have absolutely no idea what I am talking about,
• 
  
  b) so trippy to look at that you space out before you even get a chance to read anything
• 
  
  c) so dream like and obsessive that you start to live in some sort of alternate reality.

As you can imagine I deliberated for quite a bit before deciding to start up a new one, and then for even longer about the title. I kind of wanted to keep away from the word play but I just cannot help myself. I was going to call it Ray of Light but it seems that the space is already taken.. so Single Flame it is! It comes from a passage in the Bible, something I have been challenged about recently and which I will probably elaborate on in a later post, but for now.. Matthew 5: 14-16

'You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven.'

We are each but a single flame yet so much light can come from us. I guess my hope for this blog is that it can be a testimony to my light. Whether I talk of myself or other things happening, that God may be using me and shining through me so that my ray of light is one that stands out amongst others, one worth following to it's true source.

So, there is no real clear content or outline for what will be in this blog over time, but I hope if anyone ever ends up reading it that you find it as enjoyable to read as it is to write. Oh yes, and if there is anything which you would like me to talk about, just comment on a post and I shall make every effort to respond to your request!
