Blog ideas

I just wanted to start off by thanking those that read my blog.  This has been a new way for me to communicate (because if you know me this is probably better than me talking) my ideas about what I am learning at school and what I have been thinking.  I would like to now focus my blog towards specific areas that interest me the most.
Several areas that I will be focusing my blogs towards are the following:
a) Postmodernism.  I have begun to have a fascination with this because our world is becoming (or has already become) a postmodern society.  Yet so many people, including church people, do not even realize where our society is heading.
b) A college faith.  From this area I would like to just share my journey of faith as a college student at MVNU.  I would like to start being more open and hopefully also hear some stories from those reading my blogs. 
c. Youth Ministry/ Young Adults.  A passion that I have is a desire to talk with those that are between ages of 18-29.  This group sometimes gets so neglected by society and sometimes we get a lot of "stuff" thrown at us that we cannot handle.  I just thought this would be an interesting area (because I am around this age range) to look into.
d. Israel.  I have not really had the chance to share my experience in Israel and would like to start sharing some experiences (as well as explain some pictures in more detail :)).
e. Liberalism and Conservatism.  Our churches fall into either category of these, sometimes, extreme categories.  Yet, I feel that a misunderstanding has taken place among the two groups.  As I am developing my thoughts on these I would just like to share opinions that I have read and even from what the world today is saying from these two areas of thought.
f. Theology and Holiness.  A very strong passion of mine is theology and Wesleyan holiness thought.  I have learned so much in this area and would like to try and put my thoughts out there.
g. Hebrew and Greek.  Learning some Hebrew and Greek words lately, and how to translate them, I thought it would then be fun to come up with some devotionals from them.  I do not want to try to go into great depth into them.  But, to just share some thoughts on what may be a stronger point that the old language is making or something that is new that these texts are saying.
These are some ideas that I hope to write about and will hopefully interest you in reading about my opinions or what I am learning in college.  I am hoping to get some responses from some people about these and get some great conversations going.
