I swore I would never...

Well, I have a blog...Wierd. I swore that I would never have a blog but here I am. So, why the change? Well, I used to think that keeping a blog was kind of like stripping naked, taking pictures and posting the pictures on-line. Thus is my reason for avoiding this little adventure. Putting my personal thoughts out in cyberspace for anyone to read is a very vulnerable thing to do especially for someone like myself who has a tendency to be closed. Anyway, there are a couple of reasons that brought me to feel more comfortable with the idea. The community of Horizon has been exploring the concept of risk lately and I, like many in this church, have decided that I need to be willing to take more risks. Not risk for risk's sake but for the furthering of the kingdom. Not sure how God will use this yet but we shall see. I also have been reading the blogs of those close to me and I have truly enjoyed them. I have learned so much about my brother Mark, Horizon planters Dave and Clay , my beautiful friend Beth Ann and my linkgroup partner in crime, Dave. I guess I can add alittle nonsense to the mix. Mostly, I guess I am trying to be more open and I want the people I love to hear whats in my head. I have no problem saying alot of things but it always sounds better when I write it down. So starts my adventure into the world of blogging and I hope my boring thoughts put you all to sleep.
