Why this blog and why discipline?

Hello!  I am starting this blog first and foremost to try and generate some extra income. I'm telling you that right from the start so that you know.  These kind of blogs irritate some people so I want to be up front about it.  I won't be hounding this into you, I promise, but if you are planning on using any of the stores, etc., that I have ads for, I would appreciate your clicking on my ad.

That said, I firmly believe that most people in this world quietly spend their lives trying to do what is right.  I am a good person and try to live my life by my beliefs. I want to be clear that I am a Christian and when I mention God here, I mean God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  If you ever want to discuss with me exactly what that means, I would be delighted.

God has gifted me in a lot of ways, but discipline is not one of my strong points. Lately I have felt this tug in my heart to investigate ways of being more disciplined.  Not just financially, although I need that, too, but in other areas of my life.  My hope is that through this blog I will grow and learn.  Please leave constructive comments.  Open discussion leads to new ideas.  I am hoping to learn from you.

I am a lover of quotes.  I will be looking for quotes about discipline.  It seems that you can learn a lot from just a few words from someone with wisdom.  So here goes.  "A penny saved is a penny earned." by Benjamin Franklin.  I know this is an old quote. Heaven knows my mom said this to me over and over in my life.  So this is going to be my first step.  I am going to look for ways to save more.  I have a little bank that I am going to put my change in every night.  Somehow I think that as it gets heavier, I'll get more and more excited about saving.  A baby step to be sure, but who knows where it can lead?

I'm not planning on blogging every day, but I am following the Lord's leading.  When I get an inspiration I will blog it.  If I blog several times in one day, great.  Keep coming back to check out my progress and let me know you are there.  I am counting on you to help me.
