In The Beginning...

...Was the Word. (John 1:1)

Worthy words to remember upon this inaugural blogfest. So many words out there, but it begins with the Word -- and ends there too. He is the Alpha (with apologies to those who thought they were) and the Omega too.

I have begun this blogspot for a simple reason. No publisher has yet paid me for my writing, nor has any offered to take it for free. I confess I have not tried very hard. In fact, it would be simplest to say I have not tried at all. But I do have to question the wisdom of all those publishers who never dropped by my house to gain my acquaintance.

In the meantime, I have found this blogspot website (yeah, that was hard) and decided to work off my literary itches.

Yes, I've got a few of those itches. Ideas and thoughts. That is the inspiration (some might question the word-choice there) behind my blog title. Someone else took the URL (uponreflection.blogspot.com) but by the frequency of his/her blogs, my tentative conclusion is that this person has not been reflecting on much of late -- not publicly, at least. I wonder if I will follow the same course. A few blogs into empty space, and then nothing?

But back to the ideas and itches. Now that I have taken the time to create this blog account, I don't want to blow all my money on the first shot, so I will sign out quietly and hopefully gracefully today, only to (perhaps) tomorrow begin with some reflections upon the Word. Jesus. He continues to amaze me, and it is for the sheer joy of reflecting upon who He is that I have even begun this little blog fun.
