Lost For Words

Seems I've become lost for words since starting this blog. Funny, wife says I never shut up, calls me a leaky faucet. No matter, still taking things slow. Have not figured out a few things I have been questioning about this blogging thing so until I'm confident about things, not gonna get too excited. Also a little unsure which direction I wanna go with subject matter of blog. Had a visit from an old friend whom I hadn't seen for about 15 years. As we were catching up we realized we have been living sorta parallel lives since last we had been in contact. Both got into some trouble, both settled down, married and lots of kids, both got involved in church, scouts and basically the same outdoor activities. Now that I think of it that pretty much describes most males past puberty or at least once they've gotten past their wild years. Most but not all! Ever wonder why some kids seem to get it at an early age, some seem to "go round the mountain" for a while, then something seems to click and all of the sudden they're adults making adult decisions. Course then you have those people that going "round the mountain" is a way of life. For some reason this group never seems to get it. Now I know there are hard times, tough breaks and down right bad decisions that people make. That's not what I'm really talking about. I'm talking about the people that never learn. The ones that continue to bang their heads against the wall. Anything from selecting a mate and finances to little Bubby better not eat candy for breakfast more than three days in a row. Maybe it's a pattern thing that you fall into. Maybe it's learned behavior. Could be a touch of good ole fashion stupidity. I think people have a right to choose and when God whispers, come this way, they choose not to listen. Some of them for their entire lives. Live it all-
