Why?...Because I want to, that's why.

Did I mention the reason I started this blog site? I was watching the DVD for the new Scrapbooking Bible Study, and Lisa Welchel, who wrote it, was talking about how we really need to write things down for our children and their children and on and on. "Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen the Lord do for you. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren." Deuteronomy 4:9 NLT

And, my goodness, what the Lord has done for me! I guess I first started thinking about it when I did the Bible study, "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackaby. I had to think about spiritual markers in my life. Most of them were things that, at the time, didn't seem like a God thing. But as I looked back on them, I could see that God was moving in my life...moving me to something or away from something, for His purposes.

I hope to record here some past memories and memories in the making. I have a stack of journal books that I have written in over the years. I just take spells of jotting things down. Maybe journaling in this blog will be more accessible to the grandchildren.

That's not to say I won't get sidetracked once in a while. Things just happen.... Like the fish and racoons.
