Here it comes–the moment of (gulp) truth.
August 30, 2006
I finally did it. I put my blog somewhere it might be seen. And clicked on. . .and read.
Breath.
I reread the only post I have written and left, aside from my initial post, and cringe. I just left an. . .encouragement?. . .on thinklings.
The little Baptist church has a tag on their sign right now that says “Keep your words sweet–you might have to eat them.”
I hope that I have, though I am quite accustomed to being force-fed over the years. 
I tend to pour forth from my mouth in the moment, and sometimes I succeed in nothing more than confusion.
Welcome to my blog, and please, give me some feedback–no matter what it is. Feeds are good.
I generally post over naptime and in the wee hours of the morning, so I may see you later. . .like, Letterman later. Or not.

Leslie,
I am the recipient of your Encouragement, and I’d just like to say thank you. I left a response on Thinklings. You can talk about it here if you want, or you can just read it there. But I want to thank you again for your thoughtful words to me.
I have talked with many people, over the past few years, about my “problem,” and no one has had as much insight as you have.

Matthew,
I am humbled to know that I had anything worth considering to say. I left that post feeling VERY naked myself, and even foolish for thinking that anything I said has not been said to you before–probably many times.
I do want to continue our conversation if you are willing, but I don’t have time right now. Here would probably be better in the interest of privacy (though if that’s a concern, you should probably just email me directly).
