Welcome to my new blog

I decided to start this blog in order to remain focused. I have another blog: http://emuelle1.blogspot.com, which is more of a socio/political commentary. I recently read an article about blogging, and realized that we all do have our own expertise that someone else might actually be interested in.

I thought about changing my theme to famliy life, or to technology, but then it hit me what I might want to concentrate on. As I write this, my wife and I have a one year old and another child due any moment now. My wife stays home and I have a full time job. I have a really big computer hobby, I'm active with church, and I have a few volunteer activities I enjoy. I don't get out much, but I have a few friends I like to get together with now and again. None of these things work together, and yet they're all pretty vital to who I am. I admit that I wouldn't miss work very much, but it is important at this time. On top of all this, my wife and I both have to deal with our respective families. I'm taking distance learning classes at a Bible college. I'm sure by now that you understand, I can't do it all and yet it all must get done.

Now, when all the elements of my life come together it is often like mixing matter and anti-matter. On top of it all, I am a Christian, and I'm trying to take my commitment to Jesus Christ seriously, yet all too often I realize too late that I've blown it.

I realized that someone else might be in the same boat. Maybe you have a new family, and you're having a hard time putting it all together, especially while you're trying to follow Christ. I haven't found much useful advice on the internet, so I figure maybe I'll start putting it up myself. I've also learned from teaching a class in church that placing yourself in the public eye presents you with accountability.

I pray that some fruitful information will make it onto this page, and that families will be blessed by it.
