About Me

in the wake of life, pain and confusion can so easily surround someone without purpose; especially when they realize that this world, its fruits, its pleasures, its experiences, virtually everything that is now concrete will eventually pass away. this fact alone leaves us with undeniably eternal implications which simply cannot be tossed to the wayside. it seems quite contrary to the human condition to just accept life's endings as inevitably empty and go through its spectrum without any sort of purpose or zeal. and thus i have searched this world and found only one truth, one purpose that can satisfy my day to day longing for drive; one that is both truly good, and truly hopeful. within the scheme of this seemingly hopeless endeavor we call the human experience, faith in jesus is everything. everyone believes in something, whether it is nothing or whether it is some giant religion or theory. inklings of belief can be found everywhere, however the tragedy is that most people fail to focus their belief on something perpetually fulfilling. jesus provides that source for endless contentment; one that comes from knowing that whatever faces us in this life: whether it be love, death, addiction, hopelessness, loneliness, disappointment, our only true hope is in him. he may seem to some just a shallow name, just an idea, just a blank story, just a stranger, but in all reality there is no other relationship or belief system that when completely unravelled to its end reveals genuine happiness... and isn't that what we all want? it is both my comission and yours (should you find faith) to communicate this truth and love to the world. my chosen medium is music, which i believe to be an instrument that speaks directly to the soul. my hope is that this music, if nothing else, would inspire and encourage all who hear it...and in turn that jesus would be magnified because of it. love to you all, and thanks for taking time out of your search to read this.far less than worthy, tim burnette
