Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am excited to begin this journey and to share it with you. I know that there will be some of you who will be be tempted to logout once you begin to read the contents and get a sense of what my perspective is. I ask that you not do so. I believe that you will find that we really do have more in common than you think. If you ever have traveled the West Virginia turnpike, you'll know that it seems to be always under construction. Oh, great progress is being made but there still is work to be done. I don't know about you, but that's how I view my life. As I approach the half century mark of my life, I have come to realize that God will often go to extremes to transform us into the likeness of his son, Jesus Christ. More about this in future posts.

Please don't expect posts that have great literary writing, proper grammar, deep intellectual thoughts or insights. Rather, what you can expect are posts that will be open, honest, and authentic. I will share my successes and my failures. I will share the good times and the disappointments. I will share from the experiences I've had and what I hope to experience in the future. It is my desire that as I encourage you, I too will be encouraged. Caution, construction ahead.
