First Blog Ever!

I have a tendency to live behind the curve. For instance, I desperately want an iPhone but don't own one. I probably have enough money to buy it, enough to maintain it, and I'd really enjoy having it. Three of my very good friends have one, and so does my mother-in-law. But do I? NO. Why?

Because I wait. I am like a crocodile hiding in the water waiting for its prey. I wait until the price goes down. I wait until the technology is proven. I wait until all the bugs are worked out. I wait until I'm the last guy to go for it. There's good things about waiting...there's something to be admired about frugality and self-control. But waiting makes one always behind the curve.

Well, I know blogging isn't the newest thing around, but it's new to me, and my mother-in-law isn't doing it yet, so I know that I at least have a leg up on someone. My intention is to blog weekly and record the thoughts, feelings, and events that dominate my life. I hope to have inspirational musings on Scripture, Christ, and how to follow Him more deeply. I hope to keep my friends in the loop with what God is doing with our family in Texas. Above all, I hope to cultivate a heart that loves God above all things in myself in others.

We'll see if I can do that, with God's help. And try to hold on for dear life while careening through the curve.
