Blogging - who came up with that term. I guess for me it is more like keeping a journal - which by the way is something that I haven't really done consistently at any point in my life. But I guess as part of this 2010 adventure I am going to give it a whirl. Maybe someday my posterity will look at my "blog" and laugh at me as I figure my way through this life.
As I outlined in previous blogs - I was going to post the list of "39 Things" that I hope to accomplish this year that are somewhat different than the daily routine things like to pray daily, tell my family how much I love and appreciate them, laugh and have fun. Those things are givens. This list has some challenges as well as some new "givens" to try. So here it goes -THE LIST!
