The Beginning

This is the beginning of my blogging career. Part of me is not very excited about doing this, because I don't like feeling attached to my computer. But I think being disciplined in this manner and posting every night will be a good way of dying to myself and my own desires, and can be very useful to many who come across it. I feel like God has led me to this, and later I will explain how. First, I want to put up a disclaimer:

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."
-Mother Teresa

I put that up for you and for me. I want to be 'honest and frank' in this blog. Part of me is afraid of putting up something only for the purpose of making myself look better, or of not putting something up because of being self-consious about my faith. You may think I am doing something with ulterior motives. I put up the disclaimer, one of my favorite quotes, to try to keep both of us honest and unsuspecting.

I hope this turns out to be a good thing for both of us (and yes, I will probably refer to you, the many readers, simply as 'you').
