This is the day. The day I begin blogging. A first for me. My goal is to create an outlet for the random thoughts that come through my head from time to time. Thoughts that are like beacons of light shining on places anew as well as on paths well trod.

I think the file cabinets in my mind or the retrieval system that brings information from them to the forefront of present thinking shorts out more often than not these days. For instance someone mentions a name or event that rings a faint bell of familiarity but all the while they are talking little sparks go off in my brain bringing absolutely nothing concrete to the surface. Alas, while the opportunity presents itself I have nothing to add. Is it that I really don't have any information to produce? Or is it somewhere in the depths of memory in the "file cabinets"of my mind I have filed the information under a tab that doesn't remotely resemble the key word I am searching?

Just yesterday I began reading about Martin Luther. I studied about him years ago and from that time since have come upon his life in other studies and have viewed a video of his life. However where all that information went to I have no idea. My reading currently is a fresh as if all I knew of him previously could be put in two sentences.

Perhaps this is a malady that has always been with me and I have only noticed of late how frequently it occurs. It can be counted a blessing that most of my conversations with others on a daily basis do not hinge on my ability to contribute an abundance of information to be pleasant and successful :)

This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 124:18
