That's really terrible of me. I'm always surprised when someone I know in real life mentions that they read my blog, but they never write comments. It kind of annoys me sometimes, actually. And here I did the same thing to you!! So sorry. Truth be told, I feel sort of guilty spending much time on blogging. I read quite a few, but don't take the time to comment as much as I used to, sadly. Commenting is where the friendships really get built. surely there must be better measures of ‘making it’? :)

I especially appreciate the advice about not knowing who or how many views your blog gets...that's pretty good advice. And yes I can be kind of chauvinist in my thinking...apologies! kim--finally you comment on my blog...I have made it! Yes I agree that your statement is maybe not corny, but simplistic...but that is the faith that we are called to...like a little child! Thanks for that reminder. tawny–thanks for the encouragement.

There IS a 'cool kid' factor in blogging, isn't there? Weird how that happens. I went to a conference in February where it seemed like all of the 100 people there were 'cool kids' either in real life, in the blog world, or (for the lucky few) BOTH!!!! :) So, so out of place was I. Your question: where are you headed in life and why? I honestly don't know. I have never been a person guided by specific long term goals, which goes against every bit of teaching I've ever heard. But that's just the way it's been. And I'm grateful for that. Because I would have never had the imagination to set the kinds of goals that would have aimed me toward some of the interesting places I've landed. I think the most honest answer I can give... despite it's corniness... is just to say that I want to be obedient to God's guidance, whatever direction that takes me. Hi there.

I used to try and figure it all out but now I just try and follow Jesus, one day at a time. This blogging thing is really fun and really draining. I am glad I am using blogger, because once I took my counter off, I have no idea who is reading my blog unless they leave a comment. I write it for the people who know me in real life but when I meet someone like you, I really like it too. I don't think the ego thing is about being a man. I think the women want to fit in and feel significant just as much. Trust me on that one. ;) I have no idea where I am headed.
