Well, here we go...

This whole "blog" thing is entirely foreign to me.  I am about as "un"-tech savvy as you can get.  When the thought that I needed to start a blog entered my head, I quickly pushed it out again.  But the thought had this way of returning again and again.  And so I am "taking the plunge" - moving forward in faith, hoping that some good will come of these wanderings in spaces outside of my comfort zone.  

As I delved into the world of blogger - choosing layouts and creating headers - I thought, "Hey, this isn't so bad."  But the thought of actually posting something?  Well, that was a different kettle of fish.  It kind of turned my stomach.  So, in order to help myself ease into this sea of "blogging," I decided that I would use something for my first post that I had already written.  I did this little thought piece for a class I participated in with other homeschooling moms - a class where we read and discussed great classics of literature.  We had just finished Laddie by Gene Stratton-Porter, and this is the paper I wrote about it.  I titled it The Call of the Classic.

Though it was written well before any idea of a blog entered my universe, it does express what I am hoping to communicate through this little blog of mine - that God wants us to become the very best we can - to become like Him... and that we find our greatest joy in that process of becoming.
