Nobody's #1

It's now been about 6 months or so since I've written a blog that was based on nothing but my own interests. With Sarah going through chemotherapy for her cancer, it became obvious that my blog page (fingerposts.blogspot.com) needed to be focused on that journey. Sarah really took over the task of keeping it updated and I think she still sees it as a good way to share with friends, family, and anyone interested in her journey.

I've been quite pleased to let her do the blog. I really lost my interest in blogging and I think I needed that break from writing.

In the last couple days, though, I've felt like I am somewhat ready to rediscover my words. To re-invest in the exercise of blogging; and this time, to do it in an altogether different way.

I don't know that I'll blog every day...or every other day...honestly, I don't plan on promising much more than the occasional post. But I do want these to be more significant in nature...to reveal more about me, my life, my views, my friends and my familiy, and the interests of my journey. I plan on it being more "artsy" in nature. I'm a Christian, I don't deny it, and I'm unashamed of the faith I hold dear. I trust in the Lord, I love Him. I serve Him in my life. But, unlike many of my other blogs in the past, this one won't be solely focused on my faith. Sure, faith will play a factor in what I write (that is, you'll probably get a taste of my faith through what I write) but it won't be the key focus of these posts.

This will be a random blog, too. Some days, I expect it to be rambling diatribes of my personal opinions. Other days, it will be to show a photo or video I've come across. Some days, it may just be a word or two in reference to something random.

Basically, don't expect anything you'd expect.

I'm starting on my first blog tonight. I'm hoping to finish it and post it in the next day or two.

--OH, and Shout outs will abound! For example:

Shout Out! to Bill, Stiv & Amanda, Bruce (Sweet Caroline), Kylie Jo, Kelly, Jeanne, Amanda, Steve, and any other Apples who may venture by! You're my newest "family" and are part of my inspiration for doing this again! Thanks!!

Shout Out! to Karin, Linford, Jake and Mickey! You'll probably not stop by, but I'm shouting nonetheless. If the Apples are part of my inspiration, you are my motivation. In the past few months of my wife's cancer journey, I have found my peace, solace, and energy in your music, in Linford's lyrics, and in Karin's voice. I can't thank you enough. You've got a lifelong fling in me.

First blog soon. I promise.
