Training Wheels

Blogs. I usually read them. I have never written one. What in the world of consequence would I have to say? But lately I have been discovering that perhaps I do have a bit of thread to add to the tapestry.

And that is precisely the point. We all have something to add.

What my contributions will be? I have no idea. Will anyone read them ? I have no idea. (Besides my Mother, whom I will force to read them.) Will they be deep? (I'll shoot for deep-ish.) Again, no idea. Will my posts be light? Knowing me - no doubt lots will. But as the blog title reflects, the posts will come from the journey. From what I learn - or failed to learn - along the way.

The school of life offers different courses with varying degrees of difficulty. 2008 has been a 8.0 on the difficulty scale for me. I have found, however, that it is in these hard courses or seasons that we learn the most - or we can if we give the Teacher total access to the student. Not easy to do. The Teacher requires lots of homework and sacrifice. Luckily, Teach is really patient and loving. And I'm told the graduation party totally rocks.

So, this blog will be about the journey. And because my journey is a journey to seek my Lord no doubt you will find Him here often. And because He gave me a light and joyful heart and a daily, almost hourly need to laugh out loud you will find lots of joyful noises to lighten the load.
