I write Poems, Short Writings, Short Stories, and what I like to call Fictional Memoirs. I write to put words to what I feel and think about faith, love, and tensions in life. I try to have a specific rhythm in each piece. One thing people tell me when they visit the site is how the rhythm helped them view a concept differently.
I’m pursing my MDiv at Covenant Theological Seminary and I work at First Baptist Church of Crestwood. If you’re in St. Louis and want to connect please reach out at jake.virtue@gmail.com
I also do interior painting. If you’re interested in in a free quote email me at paintingbyvirtue@gmail.com

As an artist, your blog’s ascetics are quite good. Frankly, I’m impressed. And the words of wisdom aren’t too shabby either. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your feed back. I appreciate it. -V
Definitely will use the books on the shelf to connect them to people and their closed communication. I’d love to collaborate on writing sometime! Can’t wait to read your blog. -the girl from starbucks! Haha
I’m glad I was able to be of assistance! I’m down for some collaboration yo haha Hope you find some stuff on here worth your time! -Virtue
I am not sure how you found me, but I am glad you did. I really really enjoy your blog and connect with it on a deep level.
Alix, I’m so glad you are finding something worth your while! Please don’t hesitate to ask questions or just comment. I love feedback and always benefit from it. I found your blog to be very raw and unfiltered, which tells me that it is sincere. Please continue to be transparent, for if we are not transparent, we are deceiving not only to those listening, but to ourselves.

Great writing. “A Poor Excuse” made me really ponder on what I am composed of and where I am in my relationship with God
Dude! I’m so glad you picked up on that. It is easy to make excuses for how little we love God and others . . . seeing what we are made of is a strong indication of our position in our relationship with God. Check out “It Mattered To That One.” I think you’ll like that one. Here is the link
