Woman With a Lute

As this is my first entry, it's probably worthwhile to introduce myself, the blog and the background.


My name is Justin TenCate, a Christian, a writer, a musician and a lover of ideas.  My parents invested heavily in my early education, and imparted, along with a love of music, a passion for learning.  My great loves are my God, my family (wife and four daughters- one more on the way!), music and art of all kinds.

This blog will, I hope, become a place to examine and discuss examples of artistic expression (some great, some not-so), ideas (likewise) and discover a broader perspective on this thing called life.  I expect to be told I'm wrong.  A lot.

There will, at some point, be original works of art posted.  Feel free to constructively criticize.

The Home Page's background chosen says a lot about my perspective of the physical realm, I think.  Here's a fascinating website that discusses it in greater detail.  let me know what you think of all this in the comments section, and please, be civil.
