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!
\nI’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.
\nI’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.
\nSo 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.
\nThanks,
\nDoug Schaefer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
