I feel in my heart that this life here on Earth is significant. That in all of eternity there is something very special about this time, right here, right now.
I have a firm belief that when I die I get to take everything I've learned and every relationship I've nurtured with me. Because of this belief my life has been absolutely fascinating. I am always curious, always interested, and passionately involved in the world around me. I don't remember ever, not once, in all my years, being bored. Oh, and I have a really strange sense of humor.
I am writing this blog for a few reasons. I feel it is important to keep a journal, stay in touch with friends, write my family history, and share the great news that God lives and loves us. But I also have very little time to do all of those things in between diapers and dishes. So what a blessing this blog is for me to do it all at once.
Some posts contain my deepest thoughts and feelings and some are just the crazy fun goings on in my home. Some things will only interest relatives and others will apply to just about anyone.
It is my hope that someday my grandchildren will be able to read through this little blog of mine and know me. Really know me. Know that I knew God. Know that I loved my sweetheart with the very essence of my soul. Know that my children were the only treasures that I cared to have in this life.
It will be awesome if the friends that I've had over the years will read this and know that I love and miss them and perhaps understand why I don't get a Christmas card out each year. I hope my neighbors will read this so that they'll be more patient with all the noise coming over the fence. And I hope that every person that finds their way to one of my posts will leave with a bit more hope in their heart, a little more love for life, and perhaps a good laugh now and then.
