To Everything There is a Season

The Internet has a graveyard littered with discarded and abandoned blogs.

People lose interest or other interests intervene. Life throws you a huge curve ball, death, divorce, job loss and your priories change. Some how giving your two cents just isn't as important any more in the larger scheme of things.

Been pretty quiet here as it has been awhile since I been here, seems funny in an away, like visiting your old neighborhood and ruminating over your life and who you were back then

I became a tea party organizer Feb. 27th 2009 and I still posted here but the demands of posting here and two others sites, necessitated making a choice

So nowadays I exclusively post on my "tea party" site Grassroots in Michigan and send out a Newsletter to several thousand across the state. Busy, busyness

However, the Bible said in; To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

And so there is.

So I'll return here exclusively, but it won't be the same "The World According to Me" because I am not the same. The years since 2009 have been filled with immeasurable personal highs and lows, stress, lose, triumphs, and tragedies. I am tested and tired

The realization that nothing really does stay the same and whenever corruptible men are involved (as such IS the nature of man) most often times, "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof..." (Ecclesiastes 7: 8)

Nevertheless, the most valuable "purpose under heaven" is really simple, Love God and Love you fellow man. Live your life as unfettered by other's expectations as any of your own that are apart from the will of God.

But what is God' will for my life and yours? "He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the Lord require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)
