"It's all about us"

Really it isn't. In fact, we did not set up a blog for a long time for fear it would seem that we were braggarts, or too self-absorbed, or just all around too high on us. So let's get this on the table now, this blog is about a journey that God (and yes I meant the Judeo-Christian God who is presented as a Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) has our family on.

I would have thought this was nonsense even 6 years ago. "Really, you think God has You on a special mission like the Blues Brothers or something?" Yep, that there is what I am saying now. This blog will attempt to make sense of where we have been; to build altars to remind us of the great events that God has lived out through our lives. Just like the Israelites kept forgetting all the great things that God did for them when they left Egypt and wondered the desert, we forget too. We gripe, we complain, we whine, and we need this to come back to in order to remind us where we have been and where we are going.

Why make it public? So we can share it with our widespread (not necessarily abundant but geographically dispersed) friends and family. So we can share our blessings with others and offer encouragement when things are just plain not working out, or at least not seeming to work-out.

So I hope you are blessed by this. I hope our family is blessed by this. If something makes you happy, tell us. If soemthing makes you mad, tell us. If you think we are boasting, let us know. Please interact with us through this blog and take advantage of this technology so we can share our lives together.

  1. There is nothing wrong with letting people that you care for and care for you into your lives. I can't wait to see what else is in store for your family.
