Harder than I Thought

Well, here I am right where i thought I would end up. Wishing the blog was doing more, and having nothing to write about. i have a few ideas and topics but they all seem to veer over to the whole "religious" theme. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it just wasn't my intent when i decided to start this. I don't want to turn you off to my blog if you are not a Christian. In fact, that was more of the demographic i was looking for. To be able to discuss faith, doubt, fears, ideas, and beliefs with people who all don't necessarily agree with each other. So there is my problem. I will have to think, pray, and meditate over this issue over the next few days, hopefully a solution will present itself.
I am also going to work on some "eye candy" for the blog. other than the picture slide show at top, I'm felling very bland. It hurts my eyes reading the page and thats not cool. so some pictures, and original art is in order. My two year old son, Micah painted a picture at Grand Rapids Festival '09 that we are going to get framed. Its very abstract but interesting to look at. It was very cool to watch him paint it. Obviously he lacks the traditional skills to be an "amazing prodigy" being that he is only two, but to see how intent he was with each brush stroke, how he carefully pondered his next color choice, and how the painting changes. As i was watching him I almost stopped him three or four times because it looked so cool. But then he would switch colors and the painting would become even different, and better. I find it intriguing what an innocent and hopeful mind accomplished. He isn't bothered by the thoughts of the mortgage bill, or the car breaking down. He doesn't deal with guilt or regret from doing things he wishes never happened. I know that I will be expanding on this more later, but for now I think it will do and I hope you are understanding what I am saying.

Here is his painting:
