But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. -Psalm 3:3

About Me

My name is David. I am a Christian, and I rely on God for my sense of identity because I could find it no where else. I don't talk much because nothing really interests me that much. Most of the time, I struggle with the purpose of living. It's by God's grace that I make it through anything. I often feel like I don't belong in this world... in reality, I don't. None of us do. We were all created to live for so much more! One thing I do enjoy is discussing different religious beliefs. I'd love to tell you about Jesus if you're willing to listen. Send me a message and maybe we'll talk.
