Reflections on 42, Part 1

I was recently told once that in order for an author to start writing something great, he needs to just start writing something.

I think that's good advice, even for me.  I don't exactly consider myself an author, but even for a blogger or a person writing a diary, it makes sense.  Who knows when something ordinary might eventually turn into something great?

Today was the first day of my 43rd year of life.  Forty-two years of living.  I'm a mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend, an aunt, a great-aunt, a church member, a Cru Inner City staff woman, a wife. So many things happen in a given day in our crazy inner city life--both good and bad--that I'm really wanting to write it down.  So that someday, when I can't remember, someone will.  If it even matters by then.

I started the day with this verse:  "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." -John 10:10

Jesus came that life abundant would be possible, even on Earth, and even when pain surrounds us. Amen.

Forty-third year...let's do this!
