The funny thing about what I have chosen to title this blog, is that I came up with it in 9th grade.
It was was supposed to be the title of one of three books I knew I was going to write one day. One of the others was “Scott Lasher’s Rules for Walking Across the United States.” I thought I was going to walk across the United States one day. I was going to start somewhere in Virginia and walk all the way to Los Angeles. The book was going to be about my experiences along the way. My 9th-grade self was stoked.
The other book was “Perhaps Maybe” and it was going to be something of a self help book, with me dispensing whatever great wisdom for living my 9th-grade self somehow thought I would attain by this time in my life.
Obviously the other two titles wouldn’t have worked for this blog. I have a wife and son and a dog and a mortgage now, so walking across the US is not really in the cards. And let’s just say 26 sounds a lot older and wiser when you are 15 than it really is.
The other book title though, was going to be “These Words Among Others.” I liked that title the most of all the books my 9th-grade self was going to write. It was going to be a collection of thoughts, ideas, things I had learned that I kept track of over the years. Each chapter was going to be different, no real story arc or anything like that. Just some random musings of some random guy, a bunch of words among many words out there.
That is what this blog will be. Each post will have some words about something you may or may not care about. What is great is my 9th-grade self has grown up a bit, and a guy named Jesus has captivated my life, and I am learning a lot. This will be as much for me as I hope it will become for someone.
What follows are just some words among others.

Aunt Sharon says, “You have much talent.” I like the way you write. You are a natural as it flows into meaning something, and that something flows right into ones heart. I can’t wait to see how it progresses.
