Entering the Blog world


Wow, when I finished college in 1981 I had completed all my papers and projects without a computer. Texting and Facebook and even cell phones were unheard of. We would send out letters to people that were interested in what was happening in our lives and ministries like Lancaster YFC where I was hired in '82. We didn't have the internet. Wow, how times have changed. Entering this Blog world and instant message world is interesting to say the least. I am not big on talking. I don't usually talk for the sake of talking so this IM, Facebook, Texting world is a little out of my zone. But I have always been willing to learning anything. I never thought I could type without having written the words on paper first. This typing and thinking at the same time is something I never thought I could do but most of us can do most anything with practice. So here I am thinking and typing at the same time. God is so good and so amazing in how He works in our lives I thought there has to be a way of portraying that to the world.It seems that blogging may be a way that I can take part. So as you see me in the picture, sitting on a bench between two of the ponds at our cabin on Saturday. I hold a toad that is getting ready to jump. I too am a 'toad' jumping into this blog world with the desire to show off how amazing God is and how He is amazing in Karen and my life and the life of our family. Part of getting the message of how great our God is in our world is to get the word of this blog out. So that is something I want to do. I go from day to day and think that was so cool and God is so great, I could put on our blog but I don't always take the time. Maybe this will become my journal of the stuff of praise that the world can know. Karen and my world isn't any more important than your world, God is at work all over. It is just that this blog can be a small piece (puzzle piece) in the amazing picture that can be put together by all those willing to give the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father glory. Join with us in this praise of God. Note: the toads at the cabin were so loud of there praise to God when we were up on Saturday it seemed like is was a chorus of praise. I want to be a 'toad' praising like that. :) Don
