It was a typical family dinner.  Everyone was gathered around the table, sharing their news from the day.

"I'm finally going to blog!" 

 My husband said, "That really doesn't sound too good, especially at the dinner table!"

After 4 years of consideration, I've decided to take the plunge and become a blogger.  A place to share all of my thoughts, from the crazy to the mundane, could be a positive thing.  Let's hope so!  Perhaps I can get a few things off of my chest, work through some issues, and find ways to express myself without driving my family crazy.  Let's just consider this a social service..... or a mental health clinic?

A few things that you ought to know:  

1)  I'm not the greatest at the culinary arts.  The name is Cook, we're in the Lord's army, I'm 2nd in command under the head Cook (my husband John) -hence, the blog name and user name.

2)  I'm nowhere close to having it all figured out.  I fall upon the grace and mercy of our mighty God.  If I didn't, I'd be done!

3)  My thoughts are as imperfect as the sin-corrupted brain from which they spring.  I'm just being me and sharing a little of my perspective on this world and the journey we are all on (whether you realize you are on the journey or not).

4)  I hope and pray that anything written here would, ultimately, bring glory and honor to the only one who deserves it -  Jesus Christ!
