It's hard to
believe that nearly 4 years ago, I followed the advice of my wife and some
others who urged me to start this blog. I'd heard about blogging before but never
really thought that I had time or anything worthwhile to say, at least not
enough to be regular with a blog. In the
midst of the craziness of life, I started this blog.
It was June of
2009, a year after I had started seminary.
Now, it's 2013 and so much has happened.
Seminary is behind me, I lost my mother nearly 2 years ago, and my
father's health is failing, I'm not sure how long we will have him for. In spite of all of the craziness of life, I
am thankful to God that I have had this blog as an outlet. It has helped me through so much of the
struggles that I have had and I hope that as I have shared, something that I
have said has made an impact on some of the readers that I have reached.
I know that
there aren't many people who read this, but I certainly appreciate all of you
who do. Thank you for your support and
encouragement over the years. Thanks for
taking an interest in the way that I have expressed myself. Thanks for recommending the blog to friends,
for reposting the posts on Facebook, or retweeting my tweets on Twitter. I am grateful for all of you.
As I look to
the future, I hope that I can be more consistent with this blog and that I
might gain some more readers in the midst of it. I hope that God will continue to use me as I
share about my own experiences on this journey through life. Thanks again for reading and may God richly
bless you!
