my very first blog

well...I attended a training today focused on public relations and social networking. One of the action steps I committed to was to research "blogging" as a means of communicating about the organization I work for. As with other social media tools, I am going to try it out personally before I present a plan to use it in connection with my work. So here goes...

blogging was described today as an "online journal" -- now THAT appeals to me! I've always enjoyed journaling...sometimes recording the experiences of the day, sometimes expressing my feelings and emotions, and sometimes writing Scripture that encouraged or inspired me. The pleasure I find in journaling all started with the diary my Daddy bought me when I had my tonsils taken out in third grade -- you know, the kind that locked with the little key! I still have that precious treasure and from time-to-time I rediscover it among the keepsakes of my childhood.

I will close with some words from Psalm 62: "One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that You, O God, are strong, and that You, O Lord, are loving."
