Busy Spring

This year seems to be accelerating dramatically in every respect. We will be having our sixth child...one closer to a really respectable family size. We will be taking our first real family vacation. Church and family activities seem to be multiplying and we can hardly keep up. To add insult to business my work is so chaotic and demanding that I can rarely get through a daily list without passing much of it forward to the next day.

Today Gabriella slunk into our room under a blanket as I was working on my laptop and handed me a little note that said "To Daddy, Havfun--Dear Daddy hav a good day tomoro. I like that song to. I wont you to know that I love you." I was listening to dance music and the girls especially like it because they dance. A song that I particularly like came on and I mentioned that I like it...it seems that little girls pay a lot of attention to what their daddys say, more than I thought they did.

The start of something...

Today I decided to start blogging. I'm not sure if this will work for my journaling needs but it has to be better than just writing in my phyical journal every thre or four months.

The world is so full of ideas, and I am so busy so much of the time that I miss much of the great thinking that is going on. Because of that I'm always scrambling to find my opinion and what the truth is about any given thought or idea. I do have my foundation, the things, ideas and beliefs that don't change but everything else seems to be in flux most of the time; I think the only way I could keep up would be to read and think and discuss with good minds 24/7; not a possibility.

There are lines that are being drawn amoung all these ideas that are clearly defining the next stage in the battle between good and evil. It is truely amazing to me that so few people are paying attention that most don't see it happening; but considering my own struggle to keep up and think and have an opinion I guess it's not a surprize.

That's a good start, we'll see where I go from here!
