Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: the LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

But I wondered why people limited themselves to particular categories. I wanted to go broader, so I started a blog where something would be posted once a week—something in essentially any category as long the content was worth sharing.

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
