So I have begun a blog.. Terrible hours of sweat, confusion, frustration, and shouts to heaven for help! Maybe intuitive for a person of less years, but not for me. : ( And the emails alone burden. A single paragraph of Building a Framework and I am thrown into wondering and wandering… I have worn out my online dictionary with questions. So.. here I am with blank page and nowhere to be. I am sure I have missed an appointment, forgetting to put it in my phone. Rehearsing how one does find vision. And how one builds a mission statement. And how one writes a blog. Trying to bring focus, and what the heck did i do this for???? Ah I want to see young people succeed with their families, lowering the divorce rate and raising children to run with God. Futuristically restructuring America. ( I find that futuristically may not be a word) I beg your forgiveness as I muddle through an online thesaurus, as my trusted Rogets, a yellowed, scruffy book. Yikes! doesn’t have the word. I may never be a real authority on marriage or child-training, but I have knowledge and some wisdom (probably not beyond my years) for young people, starting out. The road to success is littered with broken glass, potholes, tragedy, and often sorrow. A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. David Brinkley
In blogging I want to help you lay a firm foundation. God bless you as you run the race. : )

Starting a blog is an in intimidating, mind-blowing and humbling endeavor and I applaud you for getting to this point. You have a gift of language and I hope you keep going, despite the inevitable challenges you will surely face. I just tell myself that its really good for my brain, all these calisthenics I’m putting it through.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
