This is my first attempt at a blog. Yes, in the age of Mommy Blogs, where it seems like every mom has one, I might very well be the last one to jump in this train. But I needed a spot to process my thoughts and honestly, I needed a place in this world to find some peace and quiet. Initially, I thought this blog might help me find my own peace of mind. But then I realized that my mind is full of crazy. My life is full of crazy. No, I needed somewhere to find God's peace. So my hope is that this small little garden of cyberspace can help me quiet my heart enough to find God's peace. In a world full of noise, may this space provide the peace my heart needs to grow in God's grace.

Well, it looks like that's all the time I'm going to get right now. All the quiet I'm going to get anyway. I just saw my son attempt to stick his finger in the electric keyboard headphone socket. He's now headed for my stash of plastic bags. But more on child safety in our home later...
