- This is me, I promise.
Hello there.
You’re probably asking yourself a question: “What is Joyful Roses?” That question really isn’t all that important. What you really should be asking is: “What are Joyful Roses?”
However, just to be polite, we’ll start with your question.
Joyful Roses is my rambling place. I’m Andrew Robb (that’s me on the right, not Abraham Lincoln). I’m a guy with an unfortunate tendency to think too much about everything. Since I already think to much, I figured I might as well write it down. Joyful Roses is where I do that.
You’ll find (eventually) all sorts of stuff here. In case you haven’t figured it out already, I’m a Christian. As such, most everything I write here is about a Christian worldview. There’s theology, biblical exegesis (say what?), commentary on life in general, bible studies, and philosophical musings. All sorts of fun stuff.
So that’s what you wanted to know (I hope). But (forgive my presumption) you still don’t know what you really need to know. That’s what I’m about to tell you.
Joyful Roses are glad offerings of love. They are the flowers an enamored husband wife delights to give his wife. They are the terrible crayon scribbles toddlers love to give to their mothers. They are the mice cats happily lay at your feet. They are the cookies mothers lovingly mail to their children. And they are what we ought to give to God.
I wasn’t quite honest with you earlier. Joyful Roses isn’t really a place for my ramblings (though it turns into that some times). It’s an opportunity for me to encourage you (and me) to give Joyful Roses to God, as opposed to the dutiful, yet begrudging, roses we often give Him. It’s an opportunity for me to show you (and me) what Joyful Roses look like. It’s an opportunity for me to show you (and me) why you ought to rejoice that we can give Joyful Roses to God. And it’s an opportunity for me (and you) to give Him some ourselves.
Confused? That’s ok. After all, there wouldn’t be much need for a blog if I could explain everything in a paragraph. I hope that something I’ve written will be of service to you (really, I do). If it is, let me know! And if it is, thank God, not me.
