Counting My Blessings...

I just want to convey my thanks to you for being part of my life this year ... as each year comes and goes ... we grow through the challenges that comes knocking at our doorstep and 2010 proved to be no different! It was real tough at times, but as I look back in reflection, I witness some remarkable moments and memories that will last a life time... and I am filled with gratitude.

Thank you for the friendship, the support, the encouragement, for holding my head up high when I failed to see the light at the end of the tunnel, for sharing the laughter, the tears, the doubts and confusion, and precious moments of joy and hope... (so many memories are flashing through my mind as I write this)... that made me grow beyond the boundaries of myself... and the opportunity to experience many new and wonderful life changing experiences during 2010.

Thank you for being you this year in my life...

Caution:

My ramblings might not inspire you.

You might not be emboldened to attempt anything more than making a fresh pot of coffee. There are plenty of blogs out there written by very courageous souls who have poetically broken away from main stream society to achieve their goals.

I am a South African serving with Mercy Ships currently stationed in the United States. Mercy Ships, a global charity who has operated hospital ships in developing nations since 1978, is following the example of Jesus, by bringing hope and healing to the forgotten poor, mobilizing people and resources worldwide, and serving all people without regard to race, gender or religion.

This blog is simply the ramblings of a middle aged man viewing life from the sidelines and might not always be about my work with Mercy Ships.

Disclaimer: I serve with Mercy Ships. Everything here, however, is my personal opinion and is not read or approved before it is posted. Opinions, conclusions and other information expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of Mercy Ships.

Frequency

I will put some things "up," so to speak, on some days, and on other days, I will not put things up. Whether or not I put things up will depend largely on whether, on a particular day, I have anything to put up. For example, let's say that on Monday I have something which I want to put up. On that day, I will put that thing up. On Tuesday, though, I might not have anything to put up. I will worry for a moment about not having anything to put up. "Oh no," I might say, "another day has come, and I have nothing to put up. What will happen if someone visits this site and there is nothing new to look at? Will people be angry?" But then I will realize that, chances are, people will not be angry -- that, chances are, people will understand. Most people are pretty understanding. Then again....
