First Time Blogger

As a first time blogger I am finding it difficult to organize my thoughts. I have about what feels like a thousand ideas or thoughts rolling around up there. That's not normal for me. I guess as I begin I should examine and lay out my purpose for this blog.

The title of this blog 'More Questions Than Answers' really says it all. This title which is really not creative and has probably been used a million times was inspired from a song by Alison Krauss. The song is called 'Gravity' and the lyric that drove this title is: 'And all the answers that I started with turned out questions in the end.' As I think about this course I'm on called LIFE I've realized that transformation doesn't just mean behavior change or finding happiness. I've found that my point of view has changed, including the way I see and understand my faith. I guess I relate to this song because I am being transformed and it reminds me of what once was and probably will never be again.

I have created this blog mostly for me. I need an outlet to express. It's a form of therapy for me to be open even though it is not always safe personally or emotionally. I may even have something to share that someone else can benefit from although this blog is not intended to be a soap box. Some blogs are used for purposes of propaganda or indoctrination. You won't find that here. I've been there and done that. Not interested in preaching at anyone. I just want to ask questions and reflect.

I would be OK if this space became an open dialogue with others so 'Comments' are welcome. Dialogue and honest conversation is good. Please know that I don't have many answers, just plenty of questions.
