Who Am I?

I would rather reply, "I am," than, "I will." Following ambition, and the teachings of Christ, who saw with eyes that had seen heaven, I aim to promote the wealth of my private heart through my public life—not yielding to strife and persecution. I aim to know men, yet be unlike them, transformed with this Knowledge. My transgressions to juvenilia and diffidence are many but my aim is to be girded in the Strength of Him who bore my sins. Indeed, I intend to put off all impurities. I implore to live a life of good, knowing the truths of Christ are Truths for all men. I deny evolution because the wonder of Creation and the irreducible complexities of the world deny it. As the curtain of the temple was torn, the temple came to be within me and here within these vestments of flesh, I celebrate Him.
