Time to start writing again

So, its been about two years since I wrote a blog. Life is funny like that. You get started on something and everything else in the world gets in the way. So much has happened in my world since the last post that I don"t even have time to go into it right now. Most of you that will get the automatic update of this post already know the magnitude of the life changing event and loss that I am now dealing with. I am hoping to journal some of the thoughts and feelings that I am experiencing as I go through the process of mourning the death of my beautiful bride of 30 years. I am not attempting to journal in any order of time line or of importance, but will be relating things as I see them and as I deem it appropriate to write about them. Some of the things I have been observing are not directly related to Barbara's passing but I think my current frame of mind is bringing out some aspects of life that I really wasn't seeing before. I also have a lot more time on my hands to think and ponder some of these things.


Family and friends are never to be taken for granted. Nor should we ever take tomorrow for granted. I have learned in the most devastating way that we are not promised a tomorrow here on Earth no matter what your theology is.


Never miss the opportunity to tell someone you love that you love them. Never assume that they know it and it doesn't have to be said. Say it!!!


I was told by my mentor in the Lord, a man much wiser than I that "our theology stinks, we don't really know God". As a student of the Bible, and a teacher of the same I have to say I couldn't agree more.


If given the choice to go to work or take the day off to join your grandchildren at the zoo.... make the right choice!


If you are a Mom with pre-school age children at home.... learn to do with less if you have to so that you can spend your time at home raising your own children. having money to buy more things is not an acceptable motivation to having someone else raise your children.





As you can see lots of thoughts in my head.. more to come, too late now. please let anyone that might be interested in these writings know where to find them..





His love through me,
