First post on a new blog feels strange.
I haven't done this in a long time, and I'm not sure where to start.
I guess a decent start might be explaining why I chose my url.
In part the url was chosen because nearly everything else I thought of was taken. Even though my name is attached to the blog, it didn't sit right to use it as the url? Anyhow, I started shaking around some lyrics and poems and verses in my brain. Again, most were taken or too long... until I recalled a verse from my reading the other day: "Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God" (Psalm 31:5). I have an awful memory and didn't remember it word for word at the time, but the words "I commit my spirit" filled me up and echoed in me.
That is such beautiful and overflowing statement. To commit your spirit is to commit fully and, I believe, lovingly. To God, to people, to a cause... Perhaps the things I write about here will reflect some of what I commit my spirit to. I would hope so, if I am taking the time?
I'm not entirely sure how often I will post here. I'm not really sure what types of things I'll post here.
Maybe about a book I read, a conversation that got me thinking, a good cup of coffee, something I learned, more of those favorite quotes and lyrics floating around my brain....
Just things on my mind, I suppose.
