I never thought I would be doing this. Blogging. When my dear husband first started telling me about blogs that he was reading, I thought it was just another source of information for him. He is, after all, an information-junkie.

    Then he introduced me to a few well-selected blogs, and I started reading. Every morning. I loved reading what these interesting people had to say about God and theology and the state of the church and the news and books and then...homeschooling. And to tell the truth, the time I was spending just reading blogs was becoming an issue. So I never thought that I would take the time to write one myself.

    After a while, I made myself take a break from the blogosphere. I took about 6 months completely off from reading blogs. It wasn't that difficult. I started doing other things with my early morning hours like reading the Word and other books and working on school stuff. But recently a dear friend told me that she had started a blog. I was interested. And when I read what she was writing, it occured to me that a personal blog would be a wonderful way to document what is going on in our home and school and in the lives of our boys. A keepsake, if you will.

    So I plan to write what we are doing. Some of it might be interesting to others. A lot of it will be just useful to me. And maybe every once in a while, something that happens in our home will encourage and uplift and motivate someone else.
