So the other day I was asked why I named the ole blog, “Here’s to the Beginning.” And so because I am incredible slack and have not written on here in forever I thought I would try and explain myself.
The beginning of things has always made me think. For example who had the first idea for toe socks. Did they wake up one day and say….gee my toes are cold in my normal socks, I think I’ll give an individual sock for each of my toes that way I’ll stay warm. Or who was the first person to say…geee I think I’ll wear spandex today, never mind I should hit the treadmill for a couple years first. Or most importantly, the person who decided that spaghetti and meatballs should be cooked and go into a can, so all you have to do is warm it back up, forming the great dish of Spaghetti O’s. God bless that person. He or she got me through college. But beginning are just interesting to me. Anything you look at has a beginning. People are born, ideas are hatched, things created and thus begins someone or something. But when I look at God, He’s always been. As a kid this was always hard to get my head around and for that matter it still is. There was no beginning or never will there be an end. My God is eternal and to me thats just amazing. Really when we look at God there are so many amazing qualities that just seem to get pushed aside or forgotten. We know stories throughout the Bible but if we really just sit and think about the qualities of God for a while it will blow you away. So when I was beginning the whole blogging process, however long ago I was reading a book that really was making me thinking about this. I John 1:1 really summed it all up for me. “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched–this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.” The God who chooses to use me and the God who has and always will, love me unconditionally has and always will be. And because that blows me away and because He is so awesome, I proclaim His name. So there it is.
Peace and Love,
The White-man
