All the conventional wisdom I've seen on blogging maintains that a good blogger needs to post regularly - daily, weekly, bi-weekly - in order to keep in touch with readers. And I must confess, I do have a couple of blogs that I read on a regular basis. However, I'm never going to be a good blogger myself for a couple of reasons.
1) I don't have something worthwhile to say on a regular basis. :) Most of the time I'm swimming in the mundane aspects of life and enjoying the beautiful things as they are flying by. I'm a slow processor, so whipping out a quick blog isn't going to happen for me.
2) I am woefully aware of my tendency to be reactive and sharp-tongued. I purposely keep things on hold while I try to think through the best way to write about a subject. Again, this takes me a while, so I'm not one to generate a lot of impassioned posts on current topics. "Where words are many, sin abounds." Proverbs 10:19
That being said, I've got a backlog of ideas to explore this summer, so I may just get out more than a quarterly blog! Stay tuned. :)
I recently got an invitation from someone to join twitter. I've thought about that a bit, and decided that my challenge in life is to NOT say the first thing that pops into my head. Twitter would make me feel obligated to do otherwise. So, no tweeting here. I'm still working on this space, though.

Thoughts on Mother's Day
For my children: You make this day special for me. Without your presence in my life, there would be a whole dimension missing. I don't think I'd have learned the sweetness of sacrifice, the pangs that can accompany joy, or the elation that can come with small steps forward without you. Most importantly, you have expanded my understanding of God's love as I've been amazed at the depth of joy I have in your growth and in your delighting in beauty and the good gifts of life. Often I think, "If I feel this so intensely, how much more must God delight over His children." I think you've made me a better child.
Thank you! I love each of you with all my heart.
