As I approach my first blog, I am struck with the fear that I have to believe every blogger thinks at some point, "Do I have anything worth saying?".  I was thinking that this fear really spills over into our everyday lives.  "Does my life say anything that people want to hear?"  Sooooooo, what do you want your life to say?  This question intimidates me.  Oh, I think I have some great thoughts and intentions, but it amazes me how many of my good intentions, don't get acted on. So I have been trying lately to keep this very simple and practical regarding what "I want to say to people."  You are valuable!  You are loved!  You have something to offer!  There is a plan for your life!  God is pursuing you!  And how do I do this?  Keep it simple.  Open the door for someone.  Smile at someone!  Tell someone something you appreciate about them!  Give someone your attention!  Offer kindness to someone who does not offer it back!  These are are just a few I am working on.

Great thought, Mike! I'm reading Andy Stanley's book, Communicating for a Change, and he also talks about having one point. Such a good reminder! And I love that you not only make those points with words but also through acting--"making the Word flesh." Powerful. Welcome to the blogging world!!
