Happy New Year! Happy New Blog!


All that you dreamed but didn’t dare to do, all that you hoped but did not will, all the faith that you claimed but did not have – these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened by the touch of a strong purpose.

from I Am the New Year ~ Author Unknown (a Bible Illustrator)



It may be a bit dramatic to say that this blog was awakened by a “strong purpose,” but it is something that I’ve pondered for some time, never daring to take it further.  Today, on the first day of 2011, with the (mis?)conception all things are possible, I have dared to take that next step.



My hope for any who might read this is that the coming year be good to you in every possible way.
