First come, first serve? First, come to serve.

Hello, dear reader!

I’m hYpe to see that you found your way here! I’m oh-so-very excited about starting this blog and being able to share with you my experiences over the summer (perhaps once-a-week or perhaps every other week) [and perhaps further if you would be interested in reading thereafter]! So, yes, this is the place where I will be continually updating everyone on what I am learning, whether through seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling, or through wrestling and trudging through thick and groggy grounds on my journey!

Here’s my support letter if you wanna reflect: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-hpHdgpLPIAhfAfhIkSVXlvFwNHz_OexXbK9o6ePzyc/edit?usp=sharing

Caution: I intend to be fully real and fully raw, leaving nothing unsaid and overturning every stone. If you follow me over this summer, I’m certain you [and I] will learn things about me that you [we] didn’t know but my greater hope is that we may be able to discuss and learn things about Jesus Christ, His Gospel, and Christianity as a whole that we didn’t know before, too.

p.s., the rest of my blog [save this post, however] will more-than-likely be written in all lowercase with many commas. it’s my favorite writing style because i think it feels the most natural and is the least superfluous :).

Anywho,

my very best to you,

and to the Kingdom,

Godspeed.

Blake Thomas [Newt] Newton

p.p.p.s. if you’ve made it this far, what do you think about the blog title? too long? if anything, i’m considering omitting ‘humble’ or ‘barefoot.’ lmk
