Dear Courtney,

One must not labor under the delusion that your faithful, long-suffering readership has endured months of silence and a subsequent web-address change and are waiting to hang on your every word. One cannot not cuddle back into the comfort of forgiving readers and rest on non-existent laurels. No, instead one must acknowledge that a new journey into the world of blogging is now to be made.


You are older (albeit, none the wiser) and you have new adventures to address with a torrent of words.

 And just as six-year old you used to curl up her legs, earnestly grip her pencil and write out her goals for the year to come, so you must now pull your apple cider a smidge closer, furrow your brow, and address the purpose of these ramblings...


First and foremost, it is my firm belief that through the power of the written word, the nature of Christ, the glory of God, and the helping of the Holy Spirit can be permanently and repeatedly placed on display for all to read. I hope to do this.


Second, having gleaned so much joy and wiled so many hours reading the work of others, I can only hope to provide a slice of that same pleasure.


Third: I. Must. Write. It provides coherency and color to my life. It makes joy tangible, faith stronger, and trials bearable. I love to write.


And so, dear reader, I venture out, once again, into the world of the written word. What adventures shall we experience together?
