You may wonder about the title of the site. Perhaps it’s obvious to you, but it’s my first name backwards. In High School my friend Sean and I had loads of fun trying to talk backwards. To this day, we call each other by our reverse name. Yeah, we were easily entertained. Seemed like as good a name as any and I figured it wouldn’t be taken on the net. Actually, there is another site already, coincidentally not, by a guy named Doug!

Well, Here I am.
Welcome to my weblog. You may be wondering why anyone in their right mind would start a web site entirely for their own thoughts and ideas. Well, to start with, I’ve not often been accused of being in my right mind. It does sound a bit egocentric, doesn’t it? Who am I to think that anyone else would want to read my ramblings? Well, it remains to be seen whether anyone will or not!
I’ve spent a lot of time recently on the net reading other people’s thoughts on their own blogs and forums and I figured why not? It’s been a challenging year for me spiritually, but yet a rewarding one. I feel like the spiritual rug was pulled out from under me. It was through reading articles on line and posting my thoughts as comments or in forums that I began to get my spiritual bearings again. Frankly, it was the responses to the comments as much as anything that helped me to learn and grow. So I figured why not start my own site? So, for me the success of the site depends a great deal on the comments I receive. So if anything here strikes you at all – funny, alarming, encouraging, offensive, enlightening, curious – anything at all, post a comment and let me know.
I’ll have lots to post in the next few days. I’ve decided to keep my quiet time notes here in my web log and I have my written notes since January 1 to post. There are also a few things that I’ve wanted to post on since I decided to start this blog a couple of weeks ago.
So I hope you enjoy the site and come back often. It will probably change a lot over the coming weeks as I learn what I’m doing and hone the look and feel that I want.
Thanks,
Doug Schaefer

I plan on keeping my quiet time journal right here on salguod.net. My hope is that you folks will read it and be encouraged, but also will comment on my observations on the scriture. I figure I’ll learn more from your comments than from mine.
I’ll be going through my Daily Chronological Bible, put out by Harvest House Publishers. You’ll find that I’m not too good at reading each and every day, but I hope to do better than the last time I went through this ‘Bible in a year’. It took two years that time.
This is the first time that I’m reading with a certain focus in mind. I’m looking for God’s heart, his essence if you will. What does the passage tel us about what’s important to God? What is it about God that made him respond the way he did to man in the passage? How is that diffent than what I would have done?
I hope you enjoy it.
