Here Goes Nothing

I wonder sometimes where phrases like "here goes nothing" and "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" come from. They both seem relevant today as I hesitantly enter the blogosphere. If you read Pastor Adam's blogs this week, I want you to know Pastor Mike was not the only one dragging his feet in joining the bloghood here at First Assembly (he was just the most vocal).

So, today is the day I post my first blog and it also happens to be my 9th wedding anniversary. (I love you Debbie!) I'm sure I will enjoy blogging once I do it more (at least as much as being skinned alive and dipped in alcohol - just kidding). Hopefully we don't have to also get into artlogs, photoblogs, sketchblogs, vlogs, linklogs, tumblelogs and MP3blogs, not to mention political blogs, travel blogs, fashion blogs, education blogs, etc. I'll just take it slow and learn as I go. My music professor in college always said "if you stop growing you die". Learning to blog doesn't sound so bad compared to the alternative!

Just warning you all - the Olympics start on 8.8.08 and I am an olympics junkie. I'm sure my future blogs will include lessons learned from what happens in Beijing.

First blogging. What's next? Facebook?!?
