Why blog?

Yikes!! My daughter has beat me to the punch by mentioning that I have a blog! I realized I'd better get something on this here blog for you all to read! Why blog? That is the question I had to answer for myself when it kept coming to my mind. I have been a follower of Jesus long enough to know that when something keeps coming to your mind, you should stop and think on it and then act accordingly. I'm not really too big on the computer and technology like some folks are, but have come to realize that it is a tool that can be used for good. In our small group from our church, we were recently discussing the desire to share and be known. I believe God made us all that way. He created us all so uniquely that we can learn and benefit from each other. To me, blogging is a journal of sorts. Of course, I don't want to get too personal...it might freak out my kids. Heaven forbid that I embarrass them!! I've also realized that I have value just like everyone else and after 50 some years on this earth, I have a story to share. I have enjoyed hearing other peoples stories and have been inspired and encouraged from books, movies, testimonies at church, conversations with friends and family, and yes, even blogs. I pray God will help me to do that with this blog. So, if you find yourself helped, even the least tiny bit, pass it on to your friends!! Thanks for stoppin' in!!
