Introduction

Why "Monthly" musing? Monthly suggests that my posts will come once a month. I had a friend in college, I won't call him by name, who once told me that he didn't want people to have too high of expectations of him. He said that if people have low expectations of you, it is easy to exceed those expectations and to surprise people. If they have high expectations, on the other hand, you work extremely hard just to meet their expectations. Along that thought, if I call my blog daily drivelings (another idea I had) I would be expected to find something to drivel on about each day, or else be short on what I had claimed I would post. With monthly musings, I only have to come up with something to post about each month.

On the other hand, I expect most of my posts to be closer to driveling then musing. A driveling can refer to spittle coming out of the mouth, ie. a dog's drool. Thus, when applied to discussion, it implies the conversation is pretty worthless. A musing, on the other hand, is something of meditation. So, while I have set the bar low as far as amount, perhaps I have set the bar much to high on the quality of content! I would have named the blog monthly drivelings, but that just doesn't roll of the tongue well!

What I really hope this blog will contain is several posts a month, and perhaps 1 of them will be considered by you as a musing, while others may just be plain drivel. I intend to be posting reflections upon and happenings in life, but also reflections upon God's word. I look forward to your comments (re-musings), or to you reading without comment if that is your wish, as this blog is more for myself than anyone else!
