| Introduction | My hobby is to observe, analyze and comment about our collective human journey, hopefully in a reverent and sometimes humorous manner, and often though the lens of my canine friend, Buddy. Now an 11-year-old Yellow Lab who never met anyone he did not absolutely love. Our common human history and Buddy's canine journey, provides necessary context for both our past and our future. Every human starts out on our common journey with high hopes and expectations Yet, stuff happens along the way - those dang forks in the road - and some lose their way. Still, I am unabashedly a believer that humans will "get it right" - eventually - and in the nick of time - at least that's God's hope for us also. And because there are many prongs on the fork of life, there's no excuse for our not knowing the stuff written on our hearts. Hopefully my thoughts stir your own about our life together and - more importantly - encourage your own thinking and actions. |
