Well here it is the first post.  The journey begins with the first step so they say. Actually this is about my fourth step. I have created and deleted about three blogs in the past 10 years.  This one is a bit more focused but promises to be messy as no journey ever goes exactly according to plan.  I like to write. I’m working on a book. The goal is to finish it. Ok so the ultimate goal is to get to heaven, but there are little goals along the way.  I want to glorify God in my writing and this happens by searching for him in everyday situations. I found my first grey hair this past weekend. I think it may be a sign that I am in fact getting closer to heaven than I want to admit or at least closer to old age.  Whoever said having kids keeps you young most likely was a very optimistic person. I think having 3 teenagers, 2 elementary age kids, and a toddler may have given me my first grey hair.  Quite a miracle really that I only have one.  I do hope I earn the beautiful grey hair that is so in fashion right now. Although for those of you that know me fashion and hair really aren’t my thing. I enjoy my tennis shoes and T-shirt’s way too much. So anyway as I share my journey towards heaven I do pray that you will join me in trying to make sense of Gods call for us all to join Him for eternity.  As Paul writes to the Philippians: “their minds are occupied with earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven.” Phil 3: 19-20 let us not be the ones whose minds are occupied with earthly things like grey hairs!
