And we're off, . . .

. . . as my grandfather used to say, "like a herd of turtles." It always made me laugh. In fact, it just did again.

So what am I doing here? Honestly, I'm not completely sure. There are a few things that I'd like to do with this blog. I'm nearly 30 years old, nearly a father of 3, and sometimes I wonder how life got this far along so quickly. I don't want to coast along and really miss out on an incredible time in our family's life, and I hope that being purposeful about writing some of it down will help me appreciate more just how much we are blessed.

Hopefully, this blog will also become a place where I can work through the things that God is teaching me - through scripture, by examples, and by the places he leads me and my family through. I've wanted to do some sort of journaling for quite a while, but have never been able to settle into any kind of routine. Hopefully, with a little bit of technology thrown in to keep me attracted, I'll be able to do just that. I know I need the exercise.

So, just like all of history's extremely successful projects - I'm setting off with no clearly defined goals or vision. Yeah, this is going to be good. Maybe the turtle herd thought was appropriate after all . . .
