Do I Dare?

I was talking to my sister-in-law, Beth, the other day. I get so busy with life that it's easy to forget how much I miss the people I don't see every day. My conversation with Beth reminded me that no matter how crazy things get inside the four walls of our home, I need to be better -- much better -- about keeping up with the precious people God has allowed in my life outside of my immediate family. It's far too easy to lose touch, and while that's never my intention, it happens too quickly.

So maybe a blog will help. Of course there are no guarantees I'll keep up with it regularly, but it's easier to hop on the computer at 6 in the morning or 10 at night than it is to be on the phone during the day. And that East/West Coast time thing sure makes it challenging...

Sometimes I think my life wouldn't possibly be interesting to anyone besides Steve and I. But I think it's pretty great. Our kids say the funniest, most thought provoking things; with 7 of us under one roof, there's always some sort of drama; and God is always showing Himself faithful.

That said, I'll give this blog thing a try. We'll see where it goes...
