Another Blogging Start

Hi Mum!

You see, my mum reads my blog. And she lives in Ireland. And I live in Pennsylvania. And she doesn't like these long stretches of no updates. So, I'm going to try to blog more frequently. Now I've gone and put that out there, and if I don't follow through the whole, big, world-wide-web-world will know that I'm lacking in the necessary self discipline.

I'm blessed to have a job that involves writing--a lot of writing. I work for Econobusters. And not only do I get paid to write, but I get to write about what I love--cooking, decorating, saving money, family life . . . good stuff like that. AND I get to do it all from home . . . a warm, comfy, friendly home that I share with my very patient husband, 4 teens, and 2 dogs, with 5 chickens in the backyard laying beautiful brown eggs. Life is good. Messy at times, but good.

For the past couple of weeks I've been thinking about the phrase, "Soli Deo Gloria" meaning Glory to God alone. As per 1 Corinthians 10:31, whether I eat or drink, or whatever I do, I'm to do it all to the glory of God. It's so timely for me as we're working through some changes right now in our community. I'd like to make a way to display "Soli Deo Gloria" in a place where I'll see it multiple times a day! It's NOT about my agenda, or my ideas. It's ALL for God's glory. And that's a staggering privilege and a sobering responsibility.

And what's with the doors at the top? Tomorrow I'll blog about that!
