There are many reasons not to blog that have kept me from following through, but today, I’ll throw those excuses out the sliding glass door and begin...
Blog as defined by dictionary.com “ a web site containing the writer’s or group of writers’ own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other websites.” So, I suppose I can write about anything.
Why is there hesitation?

Words are powerful and I don’t want to misuse them, perhaps I have a sense of the gravity of words. Lyrics from a Hawk Nelson song read as follows, “words can build you up, words can break you down, start a fire in your heart, or put it out. Let my words be life. Let my words be truth.”
But more powerful than my words are God’s words; Hebrews 4:12 says “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”
God’s word ‘exposes’ and so can our words. Words can be revealing and can be used to lay bare what only lives in ones heart and mind. If I so choose, I may become vulnerable and vulnerability is risky; revealing my words, my heart, my soul...it is intimate. Intimacy and vulnerability open up the heart for joy and sorrow.
Joy and sorrow...you need both to create a beautiful story, so today I’ll blog.
Since we are all a work in progress, my blog will also be a work in progress. Perhaps my posts won’t be final, I give myself freedom, to add or edit existing blogs, perhaps not delete, as things in life cannot be deleted, only amended or forgiven or transformed or redeemed.
