Where do you start?

As the title suggests, I'm not exactly sure where to start.  I know that I need to start sometime to get into the rhythm of documenting everything that I feel is relevant to share with all who might be reading this blog.  There was a time (insert the theme song here Mr. Dotte) that a day didn't go by that I didn't check the blog of a man who sold everything, packed up and moved to northern Belize.  What a blogging inspiration Dave Rider is to me.  That being said, I feel like I'm on the blogging court with Michael Jordan, Believe me, I want to produce quality posts that interest the readers and at the same time share this new phase of our lives.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due.  First and foremost, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for looking upon a wretch like me and yet still willing to die on a cross for me so I can one day come to the place of repentance, and actually KNOW him. 

I thank my wife, Amy, for going out for ice cream with me on June 9, 2002.  She has been a wonderful testimony of redemption and true contentment.  I thank her for being willing to get on this ride with me (I will playfully refer to as the Belize-O-rama).  We do have a lot of fun together, it's so wonderful when that "one thing" you share with your mate is your love of Jesus Christ.

I thank my kids for being supportive, my family, and my co-workers.

Well, this is the first official post of this blog.  They say it takes 21 days or more to change a behavior, I will try to make this thing as interesting as possible over the next few months as the journey unfolds.

Psalm 119:105 says "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."  This passage tells me that the 3-5 foot diameter of light that the lamp will illuminate on an unknown path only moves down the path when I do.  I look forward to seeing what's down this path, but without my light, I will stumble and fall.  Who would want to go down a new path completely in the dark without a light?
