I, Me and Myself

As this is my first post, I will introduce myself and my vision/mission for this blog. I am charlvn's mom and I surely hope he never regrets allowing his mom onto the blogging scene. My name is really spelled "Joke" and NOT pronounced as the English would. It is a legacy from my Dutch origins. Some more sorry souls born in the Netherlands have to live with the curse of parents that could not speak English when they named their children. The intention of the blog is to address issues that delight/frustrate me. It is not intended for the faint hearted and easily offended. They must read blogs that have better names than "spitting fire"! Feel free to comment on any posts. Only through dialogue can we all grow, and become wiser than before. Maybe we can even solve some problems together that the government and other powers cannot. My passions that will be reflected in the blog are: 1) My family, although charlvn blogs already and is old enough to talk for himself. 2) My friends. I will add links to their blogs ASAP. 3) Life and the art of living it to the fullest! 4) Computers 5) Knitting 6) And my greatest passion - God (yes, the Father of Jesus and the Father of all). If you think loving God is for sissies then I invite you to join the race and see for yourself! Lots of people that were born in the wrong country at the wrong time have lost their lives in THIS race! This one is definitely not for the faint hearted! But we will tackle the issues as they arise. I hope you have an exciting journey with me as we face life and its joys and perils together.
