My Name is Justus Hommes

Not really. It is a pseudonym. I will be the first to admit that using a pseudonym is questionable since I don't anticipate many, if any, people reading this blog. Still, I plan to use this as a place to work through tougher issues, including religion, economics, and culture. While those closest to me know that I love debating every side of an issue and don't mind being considered crazy, I am wary of putting anything in writing because, as the title of this blog suggests, I am still seeking for the right words. I know very little about anything, but feel strongly that ideas are messy, and resist being defined by labels. About the only label I identify strongly with is Christian, but even that I hope to spend a good bit of time exploring and qualifying on this blog.

What of my nom de plume? Well, the name Justus is from the New Testament of the Christian Bible. There are three different men with this name mentioned throughout the New Testament, each portrayed positively albeit very briefly. Honestly, though, the idea that Justus can be played with as "Just us" or "Justice" geeked me out. The second name's meaning I'll leave as a very small mystery for now, but again the word play was a big factor, and a few Google searches should be enough for anyone to figure out the homage to a certain historic figure.

I am doing this blog for my own enjoyment, but welcome any readers and comments I may receive. I look forward to the challenge.
