Well a part of me would like to say I named my blog "writing in the sand" because I wish I was on the beach writing in the sand. Although that statement is completely true, here's the real reason...I was trying to think of some of my favorite stories in the Bible, and the one that always comes to mind is John 8:1 - 11. When the pharisees brought an adultress to Jesus and basically said she should be stoned according to the law of Moses. They asked him what he thought, and Jesus bent down and nonchalantly wrote in the sand. Then he said "Whoever is without sin, you throw the first stone" and bent down and wrote in the sand some more. Then they all put their stones down. I like to think Jesus was thinking "ya shmucks, that's what I thought!" The way Jesus reacted to people throughout the Bible is really inspiring to me. Sure there are other stories in the Bible that I love, but this one stands out the most. I hope and strive to be like Him...non-judgemental and forgiving of EVERYONE. That's the biggie for me. I tend to hang on to old crap. (Well figuratively AND literally according to my junk room downstairs). My purpose for this blog is different things: to let out things I have pent up inside, to make people laugh, to be informative, and mainly to give me something different to do. I will write about whatever is on my mind. I will write about my life; things I've been through, success, loss, failure, marriage, financial advise, money saving tips, motherhood, etc. My goal for this is to always be interesting enough to others so they want to come back and read more, to hopefully help someone feel better about themselves, to make people laugh, maybe even cry. But if there is something I can write that can move someone else, just one person, then I've accomplished much more than I intended. So here it goes...
And by the way, I wonder what Jesus actually wrote on the ground. With all do respect, I'll go with "Dill Hole".
