In the beginning was the

Word. That was my first word in this here first blog.

Not sure about this blog business, not that I don't mind writing, or even journalling, its a time thing. Besides I already do hand-written journalling, life-writing as some call it, have done so since May 2002.

I've had a look through quite a few blogs here. Some are quite impressive, others are mundane and boring. There are those that rant and rave while some write thoughtfully and reflectively. There are those that live scary lives, while others are the scare-ers.

Me, I am just whacked in the head, but, hopefully, I can get to a new place of mental well-being. Otherwise I will just have to live with it, and so will you.

In the end, God is all I have and I am sticking with Jesus.

~~~~~~~~

I am just on 50 and live with my wonderful wife and forever best friend, Sharyn. We have two great adult children and a fine son-in-law. Got a cat, Edwina, with psychological problems, but we love her anyway. I am also a daily survivor of chronic major depression: Yes, that is possible; and, No, having depression doesn't mean my faith in God is weak. Consequently, amid the suffering I am learning to find contentment in whatever is before me, and enjoy the simple things of life; perhaps you can identify. Hope you enjoy my clumsy effort at de-blogging my brain onto this here electronic canvas; please excuse the mess. I would love to hear from you, too, and so I welcome your comments and emails.
