The First Blog

The question "why do people blog" has been asked many times by non-bloggers - some of the most common reasons for blogging are - "to share my deepest darkest thoughts with the world" (the blog world) ", “to share daily happenings and photos with friends and family all over the world" or "just to rant about how unfair life is" – But these are not my reasons

I once swore that I would never blog - note to anyone who reads this - never swear; one can never know what might be in-store for you - the purpose for my blog is to make observations - God gave us all senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell - they can be used in powerful ways – but rarely do we use all of our senses to our full potential - we walk through life like zombies not seeing the true beauty of life all around us - we don’t understand that each breath we take, that each step we step is a miracle, a precious gift - and at anytime that gift can be taken away

I once read a story about a man who was asked to describe a Cathedral to a blind man- but his sight blinded him to the true beauty of what was right in front of him - he couldn't do it - we walk around in a fog everyday missing what is right in font of us - weather it be the hypocrisy in our lives or the way we ignore those who are hurting, like its there own fault or just the way we focus on ourselves every waking moment of the day - We've become a society who turns off our senses just to feel better about ourselves - we've decided that maybe if we all just stay silent and no one makes any observations - we can go on living - and forget about what’s going on around us - we can live in our happy little houses and go to our little stains glasses building once a week and all pretend to feel happy

But what good will staying silent do? - I want to make some noise - I want shake things up by making observations – taking the first step in getting this generation to STAND UP and make a difference - Start thinking for ourselves – asking myself why do I believe the things I do? Because mommy and daddy told me to think them or because I actually believe them

My parents did there best to teach me right from wrong, but also how to decide what was right and what was wrong – I don’t want to be a zombie, just walking through life contributing nothing – I want to walk through life being grateful for every miracle of everyday
