Beginning...Again

Well, I don't really know why I am blogging again. It's been a couple of years and I don't even want to link back to the old stuff which was mostly vacation pics and thoughts from another lifetime.

I will admit that I am OBSESSED with blogs...and it seems that I have more thought time and prayer time devoted to people I have never met and will most likely never meet this side of eternity.

I am an observer. I love to people watch, but hate to be in crowds. I think that there are times that I scare people with the details I pick up when I talk to them and then remember or act on it months later. I think I'd be a little weirded (is that even a word?) out by it if the shoe was on the other foot.

Several months ago my mom asked me to start a journal or blog about what was going on in my life at that time...but the timing wasn't right for me to have those words out for the world to read. Not that I'm expecting to be MckMama who has a loyal following of wolverine readers or to have anyone intentionally read this, but someone may stumble by accidently or on occasion. I want this to be a place of realness and openness.

All of this to say that I guess it's time for me to face the fact that I am supposed to be a light for those around me to be able to see the grace and love of the God I serve. I may not meet a million people in my lifetime, but I want to make a difference in the few people I do cross paths with over time.

I will preface this whole blog with the fact that I am not a professional writer and I will most likely have dangling participles and inappropriate uses of commas and ... throughout the posts. No apologies, it's just the way I write!

Praying for His blessings in our world...
