I’ve been away from my blog for a while – mostly busy with other things, including some medical stuff. I haven’t been motivated much to get into it anyway, since very few even know that I have a blog. I’m not sure I’d even know if it was being read, since I have had comments turned off for years now.
I began this blog 20 years ago (May 2006), a couple of months after retiring. The most recent post was a few days before open heart surgery in 2025.
Next week I turn 80! I really didn’t think I would live this long, since the three paternal generations of parents before me were gone by their early 60’s. So I decided to retire at age 60 so that I would have a few years of opportunity for Christian service before the Lord took me home. Well, I’m still here two decades later. He’s not finished with me yet! One of my new favorite songs says, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did!
My hope is to get back to posting. I want to encourage Christ followers to realize who they are in Christ: citizens of Heaven, children of God, joint-heirs with Christ, and eternally secure in Him. I want to encourage all of us Christ followers to act like it. We are to love God, love our neighbors, and love our enemies.
I also want to encourage those who aren’t trusting Christ to do so. I want them know that trusting Him isn’t throwing out their minds and abandoning reason.
So, I want to restart my efforts to blog.
Because He lives,
Gary
