Why Blog?

People are asking, "Why blog?" I found myself asking the same question. I basically set up my blog as a link to my shop. Now I see the potential for more. I told some friends it's like scrap booking without the mess. I plan on posting some reunion pics as soon as I can to share with relatives in Louisiana and Arizona. It is also an opportunity to witness what God has done in my life. Maybe I can help someone who is going through the human struggle to find their way to God through my blog. Another opportunity is to say what a blessing home schooling has been.

Looking back to when Kevin was still in public school, I now see that we were living in a kind of bubble. Kevin did not fit in the bubble of sports, band, and academics contained therein. His success (or failure) was limited to what was offered. His talents lay outside the bubble. By breaking out of the bubble and finding opportunities not offered in school we found that Kevin's strengths lie in technology. He loves working at the Church with all the technology that is available there. He also loves playing guitar. Neither of those items would have been discovered in the bubble, because there was no time left to pursue them. God continues to strategically place Kevin where He wants him to be, despite the fact that I fight Him every inch of the way. God is great, isn't He.

Hey Karen, I agree, what a fun way to talk with friends we might not see everyday. I would like to visit your website, but I can't make it out. Can you tell me what it is?
