Wow, I can't believe I am again writing in my blog!  If anyone reads this, thank you for taking the time.  I stopped writing a few years back, wondering if I had anything even worth sharing. But several people recently have mentioned reading my little blog, and that maybe lives were touched, and so perhaps it is time to start anew.

Lots has happened over these past few years, some good and some not so good, actually incredibly, devastatingly painful, but more on that later.  Time keeps marching on, that is a true statement.  And I find myself asking lots of questions about...well, many things.  As I speak with a variety of people, I realize that each of us has a story to tell.  And for me, each of the stories are divided into chapters.  And each chapter has a beginning and an end.  But what about in between?  So for example, one chapter closes, but nothing of significance happens, and the "next chapter" is placed on hold.  Or maybe it isn't, maybe I just need to look at it differently.  Actually many things have happened in the past year or so, new things, fresh things, important things. But we can grow weary in the day-to-day of life, if we are not careful. And so today, I will stay "in today," and be thankful for the many beautiful things I have in my life.  And one day I will likely look back and realize that my new chapter had already started.  And it will be good, because the Lord is good, and He has promised us good and not bad, to give us a future and a hope.  Again, thanks for listening, for it's good to be writing again.
