Today is Friday, November 11, 2005. It is Veteran's Day and four days before my first child, a son we will name Mason Lawerence, is due. My name is Micah Lawerence Caswell and I have been contemplating creating a blog for a couple of months. My car broke down this afternoon so I ended up with more time that I thought today so I thought, "go ahead set it up." I feel like I am stepping into a whole new world.
How should one begin a blog? I thought I would begin with telling the blogging world who I am. I have thought a lot about the question of who I am. Who is a person? Most give their resume, and I guess I will get to that also, but I should address the very core of my being as I see it. Theologians and philosophers talk of people's essence or personhood, so what is my essence of being? At my very core I am a product of grace. I am an adopted son of God that does not deserve that title. I was given that status by no work of my own but by the wonderful gift of God. At my very core I am a Christian. In theological terms this means I am one who is a redeemed child of God by the power of God's grace through the avenue of faith in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Well that is who I am.
Who are you?

Oh, look, Micah, not even one day of blogging and you already have your first bit of bloggins spam. You must be so proud :)
hey Micah! I'm checking out your blog! Your super-coolness has inspired me to set one up, and my super-coolness knows how to host it on my own domain! I don't have any entries yet, but I put the template up here! Have you thought about southaustingrace.com/blog?
