New Year.. New Look
I was surprised to find out that this blog has been in existence since 2006. Wow... 4 years and so, with less than 10 entries. Tells so much about the kind of blogger I am. I have several on draft mode, I will write them and then pause.. and then pause for days.. then months... and needless to say they never saw the light of day - or should I say the light of the computer screen.
I know I love to write, years of journal-taking can attest to that, but for some reasons I find it harder to blog. I think its because there is so much self-imposed pressure here (asus!..as if someone reads me =) Then I realized it's really just taking to the net what I love to write about - the wonderful things I am gifted with - friends, strangers, events, encounters, rendezvous, opportunities, and just simple love for the many blessings God has been giving me in abundance.
So, I decided to just change some things to get me excited again (hopefully). I changed my title to reflect what this blog represents in my life - a collection of thoughts about people and places, experiences and existence. And have the words of none other than John Henry Jowett set the stage for that.
Who is John Henry Jowett? He lived in the 18th century in England. He is a book lover and a great preacher. He gave up preaching in 1922 following his declining health and a year after passed away, but without first being recognized as one of the world's most gifted and dedicated preachers.
Simple Abundance: Let me just say.. I am grateful to have written this blog without having to pause.. for days =)
