Hello children,
I am starting this blog as a place we can share and store our thoughts about growing up and family and God. It has been a wonderful experience getting to know you as you joined the family and started to grow up. And I am very happy with the people you are becoming. So this open discussion is just to encourage you along the way and provide a place to share ideas. Perhaps a bit more than common as your Daddy is not here to interact with you. I have very definite ideas about the world and how we run it. And very definite ideas about God and how He runs things. However, I am not sure I always see things as clearly as I should. Your Grandmother and I have many discussions about life’s events and sometimes I wonder if we experienced the same event.
This is open to the cousins and aunts and uncles, as family interactions are a large part of family affairs and they often have a different view on things than I and your Grandmother do and you need to know that. Many times there is no one right answer or one correct way to do things. And as you mature you will find that my views and our family’s views are at times significantly different from those of your school mates, college friends, and other people you meet and work with. You are growing up, you have to choose. Who will you be and what will you believe? Today is the collection of choices we have made in the past, and you are choosing your future self one little decision at a time. Decide wisely, and I would suggest you pray about almost every decision.
Love Grandpap,
