This is a test post.

Although I don’t seem to have a lot to say lately, I’m trying to get better at making entries here.  To do that I’m trying ScribeFire again.

I guess that’s not entirely true.  I have plenty to say.  But I have learned several things since the last time I had a very active web site:

  • Anything I say can, and will, be used against me by those who hate.
  • I need to stay positive.
  • I need to be a positive influence in the lives of others, especially those who mean the most to me.
  • Sometimes it is best to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open my mouth and remove all doubt.

For these reasons I do a lot of self-censorship now.  Believe me, it is very tempting to lash out on a variety of subjects.  Tempting for sure…but not wise.  Enough of what I do say that is positive and constructive will be taken out of context and used by others for purposes of ill intent.  Enough so that I really don’t need to provide any additional ammunition.

So, please do enjoy what I do put on here.  And let my silence on some topics be fuel for your imagination.
