Intro post (*aka why-this-blog-might-not-be-lame)

I once had a friend tell me – ironically just as I was starting my last attempt at a blog – that people who blog have too much time on their hands, and they assume their lives are exciting when they are not. Anyone who knows me, and in particular my schedule, can vouch for the fact that it has been many years since I have been accused of having too much time on my hands. As for my life being exciting, well, I am more excited about it every day. However, the purpose of this blog is not to brag about my “exciting” life and, therefore, potentially make you bummed about your own. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. I’m hoping that we can learn from each other, laugh together, and maybe even grow a bit from the shared experience.

As a writer, I prefer to get my thoughts down in text, no different really than my friend who was critical about bloggers, getting his thoughts down in the comments section of my first blog. A bit ironic perhaps, but the point is that I am learning and growing on a daily basis. I’m gaining insights from my experiences at school; work, with my family, reading books, and exploring my relationship with God. For my own benefit as a writer, and as a lifelong learner, I’ll be hashing out some of those thoughts here. You’re welcome to read along, join in on the conversations through the comments section, or even pop in to write colorfully about why you think blogs (or bloggers) are lame. I’ll do my best to make my posts meaningful and semi-short in an effort to not waste either of our time. Thanks for stopping by, and I encourage you to stick around. My first non-introductory blog entry will be coming in the next few days.
