This is where it starts. At this present time in history there are about 7 billion people on planet earth. Based on my own experience on the internet, admittedly void of any scientific study, there may be as many as 5.5 billion blogs. That computes to 1 blog for every 1.27 people, which means that on average the only people reading this will be me and my dog, Sparky. Statistically speaking not even my wife of 34 years, my children, grandson, not even their dogs will read this. All of which begs the question, “Why would I bother to do this?”

Like everyone else, there are certain things in life which motivate me, that I am passionate about. I am a Christian so this blog will primarily be about walking with God. While I reserve the right to discuss other life altering topics such as the designated hitter rule, first and foremost I want to discuss my life with God.

Over my years as a Christian, one thing I have discovered is that God is good. Good, as in really, really good. Outrageously good. Better than you think He is. Heidi Baker, a missionary in Mozambique commented on how her seminary professor told her that God was not a Santa Claus. Her response was, “No, He’s much better.” This from a woman who lives in the poorest nation of the world.

God is good. He loves us and cares about us far more than we could imagine. The problem is that fears, hurts, religious rhetoric have all served to separate us from experiencing, encountering His love, His goodness.

My main purpose here is to discuss who He is and chronicle some of the things I have learned in experiencing this wonderful God.
