Here we go. . .

I don't know about you, but when I think of "blogs" I think of parents, pastors and celebrities. . . of which I am none! But I decided to start one anyway, why not, right? Surely I can come up with something interesting to say without having kids, preaching a sermon or starring in the next summer blockbuster. . . right?!
I guess only time will tell! As I embark on this endeavor, I thought I would start by sharing the blogs that I currently love to follow. . . oddly enough 1 belongs to a parent, 1 to a pastor and yes you guessed it, 1 to a celebrity!
The parent blog I follow is http://thelifeoftitus.blogspot.com/ Amazing family, amazing story, amazing little boy!
The pastor blog is http://evotional.com/ Mark Batterson. He's a guy out of DC who is a great speaker (and blogger). He and his church family are doing some awesome things on the East coast and I love staying current with what they have going on and occasionally being challenged along the way.
Finally there is the 'celebrity' blog I follow, http://bigbaldheadnormanreedus.blogspot.com/ . Norman Reedus. . . where do you even begin with this guy?! He is what you call a renaissance man, a great actor (if you haven't gone out to support Boondock Saints 2, you should!! I've seen it 3 times now but I can't do it all on my own!), director, artist. . . and he's pretty easy on the eyes!! ;-) I highly recommend checking out his photography, it is UNBELIEVABLE! He has this way of capturing "the beauty and wonder within" subjects that I think most people would overlook. It's not your magazine cover type photos with perfect people and smiling faces. . . it's the beauty of the world that so often gets pushed aside in society. If a photo could speak to you, his would shout!
So, if you read this I hope you like it and I hope you at least check out the other blogs mentioned, all of them are pretty great. . . and greatly different, and deep down isn't that all any of us really want to be??. . .
