My name is Jeremy, I am a citizen of both Finland and Canada. I’m married to Rebecca and reside in Gaspé, Quebec. I’m an undergraduate student engaged in the never ending (and some times expensive) pursuit of wisdom, which at this time means studying towards a BA in Religious Studies. The majority of my time is spent reading or writing, and while I enjoy both, I feel I’m far more proficient at the former than the latter. This website serves mainly as a way of learning how to write better, and of learning in general(how I know so little!). Like Pascal, these are my Pensées.
I decided on the words ‘nascent thinker’ because of how I view myself. That is to say that I view myself as young and with much to learn; someone who has just started to really become aware of the intricacies of the world. With this website I’m giving my thoughts on a topic, and in giving those thoughts I thought it wise to remind myself just how much I have to learn. In every way, I am “a dwarf standing on the shoulders of giants”. What this means is that whatever I write here is open to revision, and most probably will be revised.
Finally, I titled my blog ‘Contemplations Along The Way’ as a reference to ‘The Way,’ an early designation for the Christian faith (Acts 9:2; 2 Peter 2:21; John 14:6). So then, these are the things that pass through my mind as I journey along the way.
