I'm going to try my hand at blogging. I'm not convinced I have any hidden talent for writing. And I certainly realize that every thought that has caused chemicals to cross the synapses in my brain originated from someone else. Either I heard them speak (starting with my parents) or I read their words. I just have this desire to challenge myself through the creativity, discipline and joy that, I think, a blog will afford. When Eric Metaxas, author of the book, Bonhoeffer, was asked if he enjoyed writing, he answered, "I mostly enjoy having written." Writing for me is hard, hard work. But like Eric, I really enjoy having written.
"Though *I have not seen him, I love him. Though I do not now see him, I believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of my faith, the salvation of my soul." I Peter 1:8-9 (*replaced all occurrences of "you" with "I.")
