Does this work? Does it really matter?

So, this is a test post. And sort of a real one. My Little has a blog and she posts continuously. She finds it to be an outlet. She's amazing. She's an extrovert and it is delightful, funny, refreshing to read her posts. I love her!

I'm an extrovert too, but don't know that I want to share a bunch of thoughts out there. Or if I do, how candid do I really want to be? And if I'm not, then what's the point? Am I writing to myself? Is it totally self-agrandizing, vain, prideful and self-centered? Oh the battle!

I want to be what God wants me to be. I want to live like Christ. I want to serve my wife and my children the way that he would want me to do. Some days it seems like it ought to be so black and white and so easy and then the big load comes. I love the turn of phrase "the arms of adversity." Great talk I heard about our opportunity to become more Christlike as we serve and sacrifice.
