What's Next?

Well, talk about getting in the game late.

I read The Purple Cow sometime ago. In it I was introduced to sneezers, early adopters, late adopters and the rest (don't remember now). I always thought about myself as an early adopter. However, I think I really am a late adopter. I resist cell phone use, slow to adopt new ideas and thoughts, and one of the last to enter the blogging world.

So, where will this go...I have no idea. But I guess it will be open for thought. I plan to use this blog irregularly to just talk, share thoughts, say whatever is on my mind. Really just random thoughts on the page,with hopefully the occasional and rare insight.

It is quite an auspicious time - first black president in America, the ever shortening lifespan of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president. The demise of apartheid, the rise of terrorism, the beginnings of another Depression. What does the future hold for me, my children? Where will it all go and what will be the result? Who knows?

As I left work tonight I said to a colleague, "I think I need to trust God more". With impending cutbacks around the world in work, declining income, perilous future I am left with only hope in God as a resort. It sounds depressing and despairing, yet I think it is where God would have me, holding on to Him for dear life, asking Him what's next?
