"Hi!"

Thank you lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine.

I'm gonna start blogging again...I'm pretty sure.

Here's what inspired me.

I had just stepped outside today when I was encouraged to look up by the very common calling of some Canada geese.  I think we are on some flight path here because this is a frequent daily occurrence, some days seeing literally hundreds of them passing overhead, going every which direction.   I never tire of watching them, and I always look up.

Today's gift from god was a very small flock of some 6-7 geese, but the special part of it was that they were very low, and directly over head.  Despite their low altitude, I would never have known they were there if it wasn't for their honking.  Their incredibly streamlined, fluid, soundless, flying motion was like something out of a CGI movie.  How these big, fat waddling creatures can transform themselves into something so remarkable once they loft themselves into the air astounds me. Not a feather out of place, and not the slightest bit of wasted movement.  Incredible!  .....thank you lord for thinking about me.....

The funny thing is that I have had an extensive partial post prepared for some time, but it still sits in draft mode while I stand around and watch the geese.  And while a fellow could certainly waste time in much more useless fashion than that, I also realize that blogging is a healthy activity for me, even if no one reads it.

So the geese inspired me, but so also did my little brother.  Please see todays quote from a guest blog of more than 4 years ago...
