I’m Baaacck!!!
Just in case you were wondering, I haven’t vanished off the face of the earth. I’m still here and, for the most part, making good use of my time. I’m so close to finishing my book I can taste it. It’s taken me longer than I expected but I’ve been able to flesh it out more completely as a result. Instead of having only a few pictures in some dedicated section of the book, it is going to have about one hundred pictures weaved into the story. The title is going to be “The Ensor/Kelso Family Chronicles” and it will be available on Amazon.com. I’ll post again when it’s finished.
What inspired me to post today was the fact that I was not able to see my blog last night. I was looking for one of the comments from an old post because I wanted to include it in my book. I kept getting a network error and I was afraid that the blog was no longer available. To my relief I was able to get to it today and capture the comment.
While there I also took the time to go back and review the entire blog. I skimmed many of the posts and comments and relived the journey. It brought me great joy. It is amazing how God has worked in my life through this blog. He did it in several ways but two stand out the most.
First of all, I’m not sure I would be worshiping where I’m worshiping with whom I’m worshiping if it had not been for this blog. And boy do I love worshiping with this awesome group of believers. It is so wonderful to come to this loving group of seekers and to discuss and worship and sing without fear of being judged or condemned or looked down on by anyone there. The atmosphere is wonderful and we’ve been making a difference in our community. It’s been uplifting each and every week for almost a year and a half. I never thought I would experience that in this little town. I thank God for this group of believers and for the fact that I no longer have to be the “bad guy”. My new role as “Shepherd” is much more satisfying.
Secondly, I’m not sure I would be where I am in getting my family heritage book written if it hadn’t been for this blog. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed writing until I started doing it here. I consider this book to be one of my life’s treasures. I am so glad that my grandkids and grand nephews and nieces will be able to know their past because it has been written down and preserved for generations to come.
I want to thank so many of you for your positive strokes and encouragement in both areas. You’ve definitely made my life better. May God bless you bountifully in every way.
