Why I started this blog

I have blogged before, to chronicle the antics of my kids or to track my spiritual development as I became a Catholic Christian at the age of 38.

But this blog is different. For one thing, I'm not advertising it and I'm not linking to other blogs or hoping to be linked to from other blogs. This blog is basically my way of sorting things out while I talk to God about it. So if you're here reading this, you're here by accident.

You see, I'm a very verbal person, but my words come out better through my fingers and my keyboard than with my mouth. Where I ramble in oration, everything gets straightened out when I type. And after years of trying to work through various "this-es and thats" with my Lord and Savior in prayer, I finally decided that the best thing to do.

I realize that somebody my stumble upon this blog and read it, and that's okay. Because honestly, I would really, really, really love to find a clear message from God in the com-boxes. I know the odds of Him doing that are practically nil, but I also know that He can inspire an ordinary person to say just the right thing. So if you feel strongly compelled to comment, go right ahead. I'll read it and pray about it and test it against Scriptures, and it might just be my message from God after all.
