Just Thinking !

I promised I would blog more often but life has been crazy over the last couple of weeks. Life ,now that is a concept . I think most of us live our lives , day to day , rarely thinking beyond how we are going to put on our socks. That is not to say we all don't stop sometimes and steer at the night sky , or our belly buttons and go , what the heck am I doing?
The fact of the matter we just have ourselves so deep into so much "stuff" we just can't be bothered. We live our lives rarely looking beyond our noses at the bigger picture because lets face it , it can be scary. We often live through the land of fiction,watching other people live out fictional lives as we sit before the tube, content to a large degree to live safely in the land of make believe .
Well enough for now. Sleep is calling , so I will leave you all hanging till next time concerning where I'm going with these random rantings!!

Another Christmas and 10 Lbs Heavier!!

Greetings from the inconsistent blogger. I decided to give this sucker a new name and look , hoping it will inspire me to write more. Like that will really work! Well, lets hope.

Well another Christmas and a new year has dawned , as has 10lbs on my waistline. But I vowed this year not to make any resolutions , who really keeps them . So this year I vow to gain weight , therefore, using reverse psychology on myself. Will it work , who knows but its worth a shot.

It was a great celebration this year . Had a whole houseful of family including the in-laws. A total of 14 people and 1 cat. The food was yummy and the gifts delightful and I didn't get any underwear! Oh forgot , I did but they were too small . Don't remind me ,OK!!

But in all seriousness ,I love Christmas and everything about it . From the music , to the lights and most importantly celebrating the coming of God in the flesh , Jesus Christ. Bottom line for me , apart from Christ I have no hope or life. The year 2007 has been a real struggle and challenge , with many downs and ups . However through it all , God's grace , was ever present even amid my sinfulness and personal struggles with coming to grips with my wife's cancer , the loss of my job and dealing with my youngest sons ongoing battle with diabetes!! Without God's enduring steadfast love and both the rebuke , tempered with mercy , I surely would have cracked! But just as Jesus promised , the Holy Spirit ministered to me through the word . I hope and pray that 2008 will be a year of reconciliation and refocus in my life.

Well enough of the heavy , so hopefully I will hit the keyboard , well not literally hit it , more often this year and make a blog . Nothing will be safe . From news,music ,movies,books,sports and even my family , no stone will be left unturned. Granted who wants to hear the ravings of a 44 bald man , no I have no hair issues , pounding out his thoughts for the masses to read . Well I hope at least 1 person will read something . So here is to a new start.
Plus here is a picture of my boys! God Bless
