Why we are here on this page, writing to you (or is it simply for ourselves?)

What if the Skindlovs were to start a blog? What would it say? What would its purpose be? Those are questions I am pondering today. I have thought about starting a blog for several months now. I first imagined it would be something like a rundown of our daily happenings, especially while on internship, with some thoughts thrown in every so often. But, does anyone really want to read that? Is that the best way to “keep in touch” with friends and family both near and far? Now I imagine it to be a place where we can share our inner thoughts. Thinking about no one reading it makes it seem safe. Thinking about it actually being followed is intimidating and leaves me wondering if I will even be able to share freely within the space of the world wide internet.
Scary, invigorating, intimidating, therapy….these feelings have left me thinking why not?
So here is our first attempt at a blog….
We are a 30-something young married couple who is midway through a 4 year seminary journey. We laugh, love, play, read, talk, enjoy people….all with abandon.
We reside deep in the prairies of North Dakota. We live on a street called Main where our conversations, sleep, television and studies are often interrupted by the people who at all hours decide to “drag main” with their large and small loud-pumped up exhaust systems to make them even louder vehicles. We eat beef grown by friends, we share our lives with people of all ages, we eat lutefisk, learn history and share coffee with people.
