admitting defeat

*sigh*
I give...

It is with much trepidation that I enter into the mania of the blogosphere. Humbly, (and finally) I submit myself to the scrutiny of you, Dear Reader. Be gentle... as I have no idea what I'm doing. But I read something tonight that compelled me to draw out the white flag of surrender and click on "Create Blog." I will share that something with you, but don't expect to make a connection between the thought and the click. In fact, don't even expect elaboration on the thought.....I spent so much time playing with the template that I haven't enough left for actual content. Therefore, my first post (which may be representative of every post hereafter) will be short and nearly pointless.

The Thought:
(from Tainted Love by David Mark Brown)

"We allow ourselves to be convinced that God is holding out on us, and our needs and desires can be better fulfilled under our own management. We suspect that satisfaction lurks out there and God would withhold it from us."

And that, Gentle Reader, is what I leave you with. But I will return, and we can continue to stumble along together....Canaan-bound.
