When I was 6 or 7 my mom signed my big brother and I up for swim lessons... You know, the 2 week lesson where you start out as a tadpole and you progress into a minnow.. in just 2 short weeks.

The instructor started us out by having us blow bubbles with out our mouths in the water. Next, he instructed the tadpoles to put our heads in the water and push off!....  "Push off?" I remember thinking. "Push off what?!" Today I feel like I'm in that swim class again.. except I'm not swimming, I'm blogging! No primer, no instructions, no "ready, set, start"... just go.

You'll be glad to read, years later I did learn to swim.. but I will never be a minnow! I am a turtle. My head stays out of the water at all costs.
My purpose of starting this blogging experience is to share my life with whoever might be inclined to read it. I'm a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I try very hard to pattern my life, my thoughts and my actions after the example He left us. As of now, I fail miserably every day.. but God offers grace to me daily because I have accepted His free plan of salvation though His Son, Jesus.

I am married to the most honest man I know who is also a chief among sinners, saved by grace. We share a very happy life together. We are blessed with three beautiful adult children, and three gorgeous grands.

So now I am off...not sure if my heads under the water or not!
