There is so much beauty and sadness in the world that it doesn't make sense. I'm just trying to make sense of it. I believe in God with all my heart. I am a 2008 graduate of Mount Saint Mary's University where I majored in history and double-minored in political science and philosophy. My favorite books and authors  -and my major influences- are Michael Shaara's "The Killer Angels"; Robert Nathan's "Portrait of Jennie"; and Gaston Leroux's "Phantom of the Opera."
