So I sat down with the urge to write and this is what I got ....... ........... .......... zzzzzzz . All of a sudden my brain that normally goes 100 mph came to a grinding halt. And I thought "What! I have to be able to write something, and there it was, I will write about nothing .... and everything and whatever is in between. My mind was racing today with work being a little slow ( which I don't mind ) All the projects and stuff I have to get done around the yard ( the reason I didn't mind work being a little slow). And then there is all the political stuff going on that I care deeply about because I really want my kids to grow up in a country that is as blessed as it has been in the past. And I think that that is why I just wanted to sit down and put my thoughts down. Clarity, focus, writing helps with that, it helps me really put the issues in life in perspective. As I write I am constantly reminded that we aren't in control of this world and we need not worry about every little thing. If the little sparrows go on and live fine so will we, I once read that we are more valuable that the birds of the air so why worry, God takes care of us. That is one of the reasons why I am so thankful to have my faith and belief in God, the peace and the comfort it brings in such a crazy wacky world. I really can't imagine how people can bring all that goes on in life into perspective when you don't have a faith to ground your thoughts at times. .... Wasn't being a kid so much easier! I know I didn't think so at the time but man today I was watching my kids play and man that was the life! Why is it that when we were kids we couldn't wait to grow up and now that we are grown up we just want to be a kid again. Mind you I really don't want to go through the wedgies phase again.... on second though being an adult isn't so bad! Even if it means work! I mean I love working in the yard, this year we planted a garden for the first time and I keep watering it and staring hard to see those little buds poking up. It's a great thing to sit back and the plants grow ( not literally) but it's quite something to see how fast it happens. And the best part will be in the fall when we can eat it! fresh garden food is awesome can't beat it! And so now that my eyes are starting to get heavy I do believe that this means another day is approaching its end for me, and tomorrow I am sure will be another adventure waiting to happen.

Green me!
I guess I'm about to find out how green my thumb is. Starting a garden tonight, well actually its already started. My neighbor generously let me come over and take some raspberries and some horseradish from his garden and I moved them over to mine. He gave me so much horseradish that I even have some that the kids and Alida are turning into the pasty version we get in the store, but not before my daughter took it and was eating it like an apple. And yes it is just as hot as the stuff you buy, she didn't care! So tonight we start planting the seeds and I guess we will see what we can grow! Really I bet all the fun will be seeing the kids planting and watering!!

Life
Well I'm not sure where I should begin, I have lots of thoughts running through my head what should I write about first??? Life is funny, you get into the habits of living, eat - sleep - eat -work - eat -sleep and if your lucky you might even find some time to play. I'm finding that time is no longer marching on but it has hurried its pace to a full run! I look back at the past 17 years since I left high school and knew everything and am shocked at how fast it has blown by! One day I am a kid and then I blink and POW I've got four kids a wife and no money! But I won't complain, life has been good and I wouldn't trade those years for anything. I do feel the years though, between getting beat up from playing sports to the daily grind of work, it is taking a toll on this old steed. Maybe its the aches and pains that has me reflecting on life and whats important, maybe its just age that does that. More and more I find myself mesmerized by how much I've been blessed and it makes me so thankful to God for all He has given me. It sure makes me realize how we must not live for ourselves but for Him, to praise Him for all the blessings He gives. And I think its on that note that I start writing, my views on this life from my Christian perspective not blinded by faith but enlightened because of it. I hope that those of you that read this will stay tuned, and maybe see the world the way I see it or just laugh at what I have to say. It doesn't matter I just want to share my thoughts.....:)
