Deep Water

"A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, but a man of understanding draws it out."
~Proverbs 20:5

Those who know me better know that I am a man who is always thinking. I'm always ruminating about possibilities, probabilities, dreams and ambitions. Always considering what to do next. I would dare to say that 90% of my waking hours are spent thinking forward toward what is to come. This blog's intended use, for now, is to take the process of thinking and postulating and bringing it into the realm of expression and action.

I began 4 days ago. 0 posts. Why? Because there was plenty of considering to do. How to format the page. What nifty little applications and links should I put in those framed boxes? What should my first subject be?

Tonight, I was reading in Proverbs about living wisely, and I came accross the verse above, and it struck me. I was doing what I always do: preparing. How funny is that? I started a blog, but I almost didn't post at all. And why? Because it had to be well considered. It had to be well prepared. It had to be researched, mulled over, drafted, and maybe then it'd be ready for the public forum.

It's time to draw out the deep waters. I hear that call, and while I'm freaked out that it might be too raw or unpolished, it's time for those waters to do more than sit at the bottom of a well. So welcome to this, my outlet.

See, and this is where I sit for a few minutes thinking about the closing line. Something corny like "So welcome to this, my outlet. Surfs up."

Wow. So rather than wasting time and virtual ink on something like that, I'll just say this: Read my blog, it'll be enjoyable. Unless you're heartless.
