well, my last post earned a couple of comments, which is cool...and now to address said comments...
i realize this is a "personal blog" ... and i suppose i could make it better by posting about politics, economics and the like...but the truth is, i don't generally discuss those things in my normal every day life...
...
and to focus my posts on one specific thing feels almost too limiting to me in a way...
if i were to just write all the time about a specific topic (sports, politics, what have you) then i would certainly feel like only a small part of me would be shown...only one side...and i might eventually feel like iw as shallow or something...
there are so many things in life that just absolutely blow me away...i can find the most ordinary things to also be the most inspirational ...
maybe eventually my blog will take on a bit more of a "themed entry" type of format...maybe i'll make one day of the week special for just sharing a song i like, or something along those lines...maybe i'll make one day a week "share a photo" day....and maybe one day a week could be "bird day" or something...i guess that would make my blog be a little more "focused" in a sense...
so, to the two folks who left comments (thank you!!) what do you think of that idea?...it's still showing/sharing a little bit of my interests, but it's also giving them a certain day to shine, so to speak...
what do some of my other readers think about this idea?...
....
i'm a simple person, for the most part...really...i have a part time job and i'm going back to college...i live in northern new hampshire where we have four seasons...i live in a town of 300-something people...the population density is something like 6.2 people per square mile...i love living here...
i'm really not as "informed" as i should be as a "good citizen" ... but things really are different around where i live....it truly is a different way of life...
so, maybe that's part of the reason i stay away from some certain topics in my blog posts...
my "world" is much different than that of probably many of the readers out there...
....
anyways, i guess that might be about all for now...
happy thursday everyone,

one good thing that happened today: i noticed a fairly good sized flock of american robins on the side yard...about 15 to 20 of them...it's the time of year when they have stopped being so aggressive and territorial, and they are starting to form their "feeding colonies" .... this of course means that winter will soon be here, which i'm not exactly happy about...but, it's nice to see the robins like that...they don't migrate in the sense that one would think -- they actually usually just go deeper into the woods and stick close together...i don't think a lot of people realize that...they say spring is here when they see the robins have returned...but the robins never really left in the first place...we learned about that in my bird ecology class this spring...

hi, linda...
yeah, i guess sometimes i can be pretty deep...
mostly, i just try to be real, though...but, you already knew that... :-)
you're a great friend...thanks for everything...
Sounds to me like you're on a journey, becoming more aware of yourself, and of others, and of the past, the present, and the future. You're at a point in the road where you can't see very much clearly, and you probably feel a little uneasy about being exactly where you are in your life right now. I don't think that feeling ever goes away, or if it does, it would be a *bad* thing.
Some time later on in life, I believe, for all of us who have hope, and who have faith, and who
believe, there will be a moment, when all of this will click, will gel together into something like Grace. I have seen this in my own life, and in the lives of my friends, even in the midst of trouble. You will see, eventually that everything leads to that moment later on, that everything was necessary, and that every hurt was worth it.
For all of us, that moment doesn't actually completely happen until we reach heaven. But for most of us, there are moments along the road when we get some degree of consolation, some glimpse into the
meaning of it all, a taste of heaven, and of the master plan. Maybe that clarity goes away again if we look too hard at it. But keep looking for it.
I think, perhaps many of the people who like to listen to thoughtful, emotionally powerful music, stuff like Mark Heard, or Mary Chapin Carpenter (you mentioned in your blog) are at various points on this road of discovery, of the heart going home to God.
I think it helps to know that God has promised you hope, and a future:
My daughter [son], if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad;
My inmost being will rejoice
When your lips speak what is right.
Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD.
There is surely a future hope for you,and your hope will not be cut off.
Proverbs 23:15-18 [NIV]
