I intend to comment on various topics, from religion to philosophy to economics from a Catholic and conservative perspective. I am not a Sophist. I have sought the truth throughout my life, and my posts will reflect what I believe to be true. I think I have approached this task honestly and (as much as possible) without bias, as I have adopted or at least considered most viewpoints at one time, from atheism to theism, from libertarianism to liberalism to conservatism. That being said, if I have learned anything about myself thus far in life is that I make mistakes, and so I am sure I will make plenty of errors. Please accept that these errors are in good faith.
The blog's title, Vanishing Mist, refers to James 4:14: "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."
My hope is that this blog title will keep my posts and my interactions with others in perspective. To the degree I find an economic question interesting, for example, I will try to keep in mind that I am but vanishing mist and that while such questions may be temporally interesting, other things have more importance. Whether or not the economic stimulus played an important role in the economic recovery, for example, will not be a question on my mind on my death bed.
I have occasionally posted on various other blogs and websites throughout my life. Part of my motivation for starting this blog is to present my thoughts in depth and be able to refer to them in the future.
Thank you for reading. Grace and peace to you.
