First Blog

I have entered the world of blog.  My intention is to share my thoughts, to encourage others and to learn from others.  I am excited about doing this, yet unsure.  I, like many other people, am not a typically "open" person about personal issues and thoughts.  As my wife says, "You're storing away your thoughts in tupperware again".  So, with this first post, I begin pulling out some of the "tupperware" and share some of the stuff I've been storing in the back of my head before it rots and molds!
