My Fishbowl Story

I have been asked by a few friends (Jawan and Kevin... you will be very proud of me) to start a blog or why I haven't started a blog of my family. So, here goes. I am sure I won't always remember pictures, and I am sure I won't keep it up daily, but I am going to give it my best try (especially to keep in touch with out of town friends and family).

So you may ask... why do I call it "My Fishbowl Story," and here is the answer:

First, as a pastor's wife, I feel as though sometimes I do live in a fishbowl. People watch me. Not every single move, not every single word -- but a lot of them. I know I have to live a life worth watching. However, I feel the same is true for all Christians. We should all live a life worth others watching. It has been said that you may be the only Bible your neighbor reads. That is it. That is why we all live in a fishbowl. Someone watching you may see no other God than the God they see in you. I, along with all Christians, must live a life worthy of being watched not only by God, but by everyone.

The other aspect of this name is the "fish" itself. Often used as a symbol for a Christian, I thought it was fitting for my first attempt to be open and share the lives of my family with others through this cyber world! This could be scary!!!
