Here We Go!

A lot of friends have been encouraging me to create a blog for quite some time. Well... now you've done it! I am going to give it a try. It might not be pretty and it might not be fun - or it might turn out to be pretty fun. Time will tell. You will tell too. If you like what you read, I will be around for awhile. If not... it was a fun month. I read many blogs and I am awed and inspired by so many of them. They are deep, intellectual, moving, spiritual, funny, crazy and sometimes all of the above at the same time. I have "met" some great people and made friends that I hope to meet in person someday. If this blog is anywhere near the quality of some of those I will be most satisfied.

I am Roman Catholic. Born and baptized as an infant. I have lived my whole life in one place. Still live in the house I grew up right here in northern Utah. I am a parish musician, CCD teacher, involved in youth ministry and a pre-school aide. I am blessed to have a great pastor, the one and only, Orthometer. I am conservative in my religious views and my political views as well. If this works out, you will come to know more about all this in the coming days and weeks. I do not have a particular plan for this blog other than to muse and have a place for the award that Gem of the Ocean has given me. Time will tell where it goes. On occasion, it might just be a rant or ramble . Once in a great while it might even have a bit of profundity. (But don't hold your breath).

If you've made it this far, there might be hope. (No change, just hope). Check back from time to time and you might be amazed, surprised, enraged, entertained or bored. We shall see. PAX.
