This is a personal journal of accountability, an examination of how God is working and what God is accomplishing. It is a journal of discovery and as in all journals, I'll be learning through the very process of writing, so please don't expect a work of art. Discover with me.

A beginning
Bear with me friends. I am technologically challenged but determined. I'm attempting to set up a blog so I can share what God is doing in my "retired" life. So far, I can honestly say that I have never been busier or happier. As I prepare for the "journey of a lifetime," I can tell you that the real journey began quite some time ago, a spiritual one. At my retirement reception I said that God had indicated that it was time for me to retire from Byrnes and work in another part of His vineyard and that I welcomed whatever plans He had for me. Little did I realize how true that was going to be. I've understood from the first "invitation" to go on this trip, that in submitting to the will of Christ, there is absolute peace (although not freedom from resistance). Keep in mind that until now I have been a "white knuckle" flier. New motto..."no fear...no doubt." For years I have started my day putting on the "whole armor of God"...Ephesians 6:10-20...knowing where I am going...never has this daily spiritual routine become more important. I hope you will take this journey with me. I don't know how often, or even if, I will have access to the internet, but I plan on sharing my journal electronically and invite you to come along.

I for one am so excited for you. I will do my best to pray daily for you while you are on the "journey of a life time." I look forward to reading your blog. I'll not ramble about your being technologically challenged or not. At least you can tell time on a real watch, tie your shoes and use a hand crank pencil sharpener. I love and wish you much success. Isaiah 41:10/13
