Liner Notes: The Series

This past Sunday night at Small Group (Bible Study) one of our leaders (Sammie) posed this question to us: If you happened to be a recording artist and had to write your own Liner Notes for your CD, what would yours look like? It's a thought provoking question. Who do you start with? Do you only mention people or do you delve into places and things? So, Sammie gave us about 5-10 minutes to start writing our own Liner Notes, and I didn't even get past my family. However, I did decide that maybe I could steal the idea from Sammie (much love, my friend) and use the subject as a continuous blog. All my blog entries won't be Liner Note entries, but occasionally I will include an installment into what I'm calling "Liner Notes: The Series." Here's the first one.................

Liner Notes: The Series "In the Beginning..."

Where do you begin with something like this? There are so many people, places, and things that I could fill books with just thank yous and shout outs. The most important place to start is with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, without whom I would have nothing. Thank you for knowing me before I was in my mother's womb; for knowing how many hairs I have on my head; for forgiveness, grace, mercy, and love; and for never, ever letting go of my hand no matter how hard I try to shake loose. Thank you mom and dad for always believing in me and pushing me to do my best. Dad, thank you for teaching me to dream and teaching me how to turn those dreams into goals. Mom, thank you for teaching me about passion and leading with my heart rather than with my mind. Thank you to my brother for breaking through that first layer of sensitivity and teaching me how to laugh and take a joke. No matter how horrible I still am at it, you still keep working on me. To my future sister-in-law, I always tried to picture my brother's wife, but no one I ever imagined would have held a candle to you. The road before us is stretched out and I can't wait to enjoy the adventure. To my late grandmother, Wilma, I know I was never required to carry on your legacy, but that is one journey I would never trade.

So that's all I've got so far. Like I said, you'll see more installments as time progresses, and who knows, as time goes by, I'll just keep meeting people to include. :)
