Spring is here, officially at least. I think there will probably be more snow...but according to the calendar, spring has arrived. I suppose that it would be better to say that Spring is becoming. Maybe the act of becoming is something that I should understand better, since I live in four seasons country. It is actually never really spring, because the second spring hits it is becoming summer, and then fall, and then winter, and then spring again. It never stops, it always moves. It is always becoming. But enough about that. Spring is representative of new beginnings... a fresh start if you will. Theologically, Easter is in the spring. Jesus dies and is resurrected. The trees and flowers are all dormant during the winter, sleeping through the cold and frost, and when spring comes, they grow new leaves and new flowers. And people just wake up one morning and think "I need to clean out the house," and they do their spring cleaning, making things new again. So, spring is becoming, and so am I, and it is time to get a fresh start on this blogging business. My other blog, my previous attempt, was not very cheerful. To be honest, it had a pretty bleak outlook. I was in a bad spot, but that was a couple of years ago. So, I want to try again. I hope those of you who read this will enjoy it. There are many cool things that go on around here, and many new projects, and I want to share them with you all.
Here's a quick list of what you might expect to come:
Dogs
Ducks
Garden
Archery
Small building projects
Knife making
Crazy antics
Fire
And whatever the wind blows my way.
So, follow me, and read along. I promise, there will be pictures, and some theology, and some philosophy, and some fun.
Always Hope and Never Die
