And So We Begin...

I purchased this domain name almost a year ago. I have always known that I wanted to share my thoughts at some level. I thought it would be more on the speaking, seminar, retreat level, but maybe this is the place to begin. If nothing else, it will stop the thoughts from rolling around in my head. Let me know what you think, whether you enjoy them or not, and stop in and say hi periodically.



I am not sure what this is going to look like in the long run, but I am sure there will be some evolution along the way, no matter what I decide in the next five minutes. My initial thought was to start with a tool, a word or phrase that has spiritual value to me, one that is in my kit of tools or one that I want to have there. My most recent thoughts, however, have been to begin with where I am on that day and choose the tool, word or phrase in the same fashion and relate it to my day. This is probably going to be the format for a bit.



I am leaning in the direction of where I am today because I think it will keep me current and I will not have to fabricate thoughts about something I pull from the air or just because it is next on the list. My sense is, I will be led much more by the spirit in this fashion as opposed to my own thoughts.

I tend to write like I talk, using lots of extraneous words. Hopefully by practicing here for a while I will be able to write more succinctly and with a brevity that will be striking and you, poor reader, won't have to muddle through all of my garble.



The tool for today is beginning and so I have begun.



There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory.
