to blog or not to blog ...

... that is the question. Truth is, I love writing. I love my family. I love writing about my family, and well, sometimes facebook just doesn't have enough characters for me to really tell a good story. Above all, though, this blog is an attempt to rid my life of excuses. The excuses I've made recently for not keeping a blog:

1. I have a terrible history of starting things and not finishing them. A blog will just be another on the list.

2. All good blogs have beautiful photos. I have a sorry camera. My blog is gonna totally stink.

3. (and this is the big one) I can't share my convictions or faith with others; I might offend them. So I won't say anything about it at all.

I have spent a lot of time hoarding the gift of writing God has given me, as well as the convictions and ways He has revealed himself to me, and not sharing them. I have been timid and afraid to mention Christ at all, and for that I am very sorry. Major reconstruction going on in that area, to be sure. I have spent a lot of time making excuses rather than making art, and it's time to change.

That will be all.
