Why I want to blog.

I thought I would share why I want to blog with those of you who really want to know.

1. I love journaling about all that God is doing in my life... but I never find time to do it. I think writing about what God is doing in one's life is such an important Spiritual discipline that I want to do everything I can to do it. Journals don't seem to work for me.... so I will try blogging the goodness of God in my life! :)

2. Because I've been asked to. I had a few students suggest over this summer that I should blog about life, and beyond that, for reasons only explained by the favor of God, I know that I have had many people tell me that my words and my life have had an impact on them. If this is the case I want the opportunity to share my thoughts and life with those who feel comforted, challenged, encouraged, and/or motivated by it. *

3. Our culture is spending more and more time on the internet. If you know me... you know I LOVE to talk. I still cherish a good conversation over a good cup of coffee, but I want to be where people are going. Over the years it becomes more and more difficult to stay in touch as distance and time begins to bring separation to friends. So for those friends that I can't share a cup of coffee with right now, I hope you enjoy this blog until the next time God brings us back together.

I hope to post something on a weekly basis. If I start slacking feel free to get on my case.

Until then,

Dean :)

Psalm 77:11-13 (NIV)

¹¹ I will remember the deeds of the LORD;

yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

¹² I will meditate on all your works
and consider all your mighty deeds.

¹³ Your ways, O God, are holy.
What god is so great as our God?

*In no way, do I think that I will have a lot of people follow this blog regularly or that I have any new revelations about God and life to share with those who will read this. I just want to do whatever I can to bring God glory by sharing my thoughts and encouraging others to run the race of their life to win!
