It's funny. For years and years, before there was any sort of outlet such as this, I longed with everything in my soul to communicate the great thoughts in my mind. And I spoke it, oh yes, I spoke it! As time went on, however, I found it more and more dangerous and painful to speak great profundity as I saw it. I found myself less and less "politically correct" and told more and more frequently that I was an irritant to others. So I have gone "barren" in some ways, particularly the last several years. I'm learning to be quiet. That said, life has been sweet; in fact, every day with Jesus truly has been, as the song says, "sweeter than the day before".
So why a blog?
I think it's for me, to organize my thoughts, to discover through trial and error what matters most to me. I've never been a diary keeper, always feeling more inclined to communicate through a song, through a conversation with a real person, things like that. But if I can treat this blog as if I'm finally getting a chance to mentor my own inner soul with the Word of God, with wise sayings of others teaching me along the way, with personal revelations and experiences, I don't know - it may just be worthwhile. Wondering if I can upload songs to this blog? Hope so! I'll try to tie in everything I write about to music in some way, for the benefit of my wonderful students. Enjoy! (tomorrow) :-)
