why I wanted to start a blog

I really didn't start blogging until Facebook came along.  The term "blog" sounds like a combination of "bog" and "bla", doesn't sound very good.  I wondered if it is a little presumptuous to think someone will be interested in all my thoughts and opinion.  But more and more I see it as a way to share ideas, encourage one another.   But I'm not sure that many people will read this blog, and that's OK.  Maybe it will just be fun to journal.  But I intend the purpose of this blog to reflect our hearts for Christ, hence the title.  I hope that my blogs are centered around our Resting Place, that is Christ, and He is our guest in our home.

I'm not sure if this encouraged me or not, but...we are reading a book by Jonathan Edwards.  I learned how he categorized all the topics he studied and numbered them chronologically, and then alphabetically.  It was a primitive blog to keep up with all his thoughts.  I'm sure we won't be as profound, but if Edwards did it...

Oh, and we're adopting again!  And have been meaning to post about that.  This way folks can keep up with how that is progressing.  That will probably be one of my next posts. 

I just asked Chris if he wanted to share it with me.  He said he liked the idea.  I hope I didn't pick too feminine of a design (just changed design from a quilt to books :O)
