Thing 1

So, I am back after a few days of relaxation on the Pedernales River and good times with my crew. I am blessed beyond measure and am thankful for memories that are made. I believe this is a great way to do this memory tracking, through blogging. Journaling on the internet, where there will be a record of sorts of times that have occurred. I am assuming as long as there is an internet, there will be this post for my children, family, and friends to read. I am sure with the times changing as they are very quickly, the next generation will rely on methods such as these. Being willing to grow and adapt to the changing world of technology alone is huge, and what a learning curve. I do like the fact that there is a way to moderate what is posted, as this is a sort of security. Virtually...what an awesome way to share life's moments.

From the professional standpoint, I could see the blog having multiple uses. The idea of the communication tool alone is so powerful. It would be a great way for teams to collaborate with each other on their own time, instead of meeting as often. Blogging with students and parents concerning the happenings of the classroom is another way for teachers to be able to communicate about the happenings of the classroom environement. With the demands of our time becoming more and more, any way to find more of it is invaluable. The use of blogs could help in that area. I am certain the options are endless...

Beginning

So, everything has a beginning. I look forward to the adventures in learning to blog. I chose my title for many reasons, and feel that faith is what has brought me to this point in life. Even to blogging :) The faith to learn, the faith to believe, the faith to step out of my box, the faith to understand, the faith to continue moving forward in life. So, here is to a summer of learning to blog.
