Blogging... Who knew!?!

My wife wants to blog... I couldnt believe it. So a registration and a few clicks later - here we are. And yes she picked the picture. So now we must face the very 'real' question of what should we blog about... Well I think a better question is what should'nt we blog about??!
Here with our new found blogging freedom I feel liberated, I want to talk about anything and everything - for example, I sometimes like to go to use children's toilets cause it makes me feel like a giant!
Nevertheless, we will be sharing our hearts, our laughs, our tears, our family moments and our fart smells with all of you.
So...
The last few weeks of my life have been intense, My brother graduated from College - congrats Ry, my grandfather passed away - Miss you Grandaddy. And I have been able to reconnect with extended family. My two primary learnings from the last 14 days are these:
1) Family is important - I have long sense been thankful for my immediate family with a great set of Godly parents, a Shrek-like brother and the cutest wife on the planet, but Aunts, Uncles, cousins and grandparents have revealed themselves to be so important in my life recently. I am thankful to be a part of a greater family than I realized. With all our bumps and bruises family is just that family - love unconditional. Thank you!
2) God is GOOD. Its always difficult with the loss of a family patriarch. This was no different. Our Grandfather was many things, veteran, husband, father, Christ follower, quiet, loud, gruff, caring... His passing hit me harder than I realized until I stepped up to share at his funeral. But in that moment I was again reminded of how GOOD God really is. He allowed me to be with family, having a wonderful closing moment with my Grandfather, my comforting wife to fly, and most importantly He reminded me that His plan for us is His Goodness.
I am thankful we serve a GOOD God.

So, in parting; I leave these thoughts: Search for God's goodness today, and remember to always double flush!
