I have been associated with computing and computers since 1983. You would think I would be comfortable with technology and technological change. But I am human, and humans tend to be uncomfortable with change, even good change. I am also of the more private generation, who tend to keep it from "all hanging out" in public. SO, when my youngest son told me that I should start a blog, I was reluctant even to start one. I set up the space and now, at least two years later (maybe three), I have decided to try. I even have trouble keeping a journal, but it seems worth the effort, because it is so easy and because I do want to record some of my personal journey. Hey, my insights may not be profound, but 53 years of living ought to afford some knowledge and wisdom in the journey of life.
I think part of the interest comes from the loss of significant people in my life. In the space of less than a year I lost my best friend’s daughter (car accident), my best friend (heart attack), my dad (COPD) and my mom (pneumonia). My best friend and my mom left the most behind in terms of tangible written materials. I do cherish my dad’s sermon collection put together by my sis. I guess I realize even more now that I need to leave something behind for my friends and family. Maybe it will be an encouragement to them. Since I do NOT write letters, and only occasionally remember to send cards, I probably need to record my musings here. Hey, it’s a start….

Thank you. It does mean a lot. We miss you guys so much we have been struggling greatly but your sermons on youtube and now here are greatly helpful in reminding who is really in control. We have to make the right choices. I can do my part by telling others my blessings and to tell you they are mostly nonmaterial things. Thanks to Gods lessons in my life I know what is really important a life worth living right. It may be the harder path but it has the most blessings. Thank you for every post we are still standing strong in our faith thank to some help from you. Prayers for God guidance to be able to get back in your pews soon. Till then we are watching every chance we get.
