Introduction

I'm not an exciting person. Really, if you don't believe me come and talk to me for 5 minutes. As I get older I find that I have less and less to say. Maybe by the age of 30 I'll be completely silent:-) Besides, I've been told I write better than I speak.

This blog will regale you with tales of my children--some sweet, others horrifying. Enjoy! Sometimes I like to write some thoughts on any book I am reading. This may be intensely boring to many of you, but since I am the writer, editor and publisher of this blog I get all the say:-) At times you'll get a strongly worded rant on something I feel passionate about. Sometimes you will get a host of random thoughts rolled into one post. I love quoting authors I am reading so you will be sure to see a bunch of that too.

I'm not going to apologize if my posts have large lapses of time between them. Caring for 5 little ones, homeschooling, laundry, meals, paper route, church library and cleaning ALL take priority to this blog. My calling is not to blog. God has called me to be wife and mother. However, I love to write and as I have time I will update this little space.

I believe we ought to live life in such a way that we are always looking toward eternity. With eternity constantly in our minds it puts life into it's proper perspective. The time is short, there is much work to be done. There is little value in what the world deems exciting and glamorous. Oh give me Christ instead! That is why I chose the title of my blog that I did. We live here in this world, working hard at the post God has placed us. But it is just an assignment. It's not our home. And any pilgrim will always have their thoughts directed toward home. Oh, this reminds me of a quote already! I will leave it for the next post as it is a tad lengthy.

Now lest this post become too serious, I confess that I really should sign off and clean off the Kraft Dinner that's been clinging to my ceiling.
