What this blog is about


Ever have a notion that grabs hold of your brain and just won’t let go?  Yeah me neither.  :-) Just kidding.  Obviously, I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a long time.  My biggest hesitation, and greatest fear, is that it makes me seem self-absorbed, as if what I have to say is somehow so much more worthy of your time than something else you need to do.  Believe me, it’s not any more or less worthy of your time.  It just … is.  But that’s the point of blogging, isn’t it?  To just share one’s thoughts in the hopes that another person is touched by them?

Sometimes I get really angry for really good reasons.  Sometimes I have what I think is an amazing insight.  And, other times, I’m amazed, yet again, by my kids, and how wonderful they’re turning out to be in spite of me and my mishaps.

So read, or don’t, and comment, or don’t.  My prayer is that you will leave what I write somehow feeling like you’ve connected with a sister, or made a new friend, or just saw a new way of looking at things that makes you think.  Thinking is the best thing.  From thinking comes learning, and from learning comes knowledge, and from knowledge comes insight and teaching, which inspires thinking.
