Greetings folks, it is good to know there's someone out there reading my stuff. Today is Monday, January 27, 2025. Welcome. I started this little writing adventure many years ago. Here is my very first attempt:

May 8, 2007
Well, it took me over sixty years to get here and as Yogi Berra
reportedly said, "You sure can observe a lot just by watching". That
observation stuff, however, can be both good and bad especially if you
are determined not to revise any of it, that is, if that's possible
since reflections and memories over time tend to take on a life of their
own as they all become fused together. Some days it's "Wow, I can't
believe the life I have enjoyed!", while another day might be, "Hey, I'm
not sure I can make one more day!". This is how it works in the
so-called real world and we have trouble because the roller
coaster ride can start without notice at anytime even right smack in the
middle of one of those really great days and suddenly you find your
heart pounding and breath interrupted by the crashing ride. Okay, maybe
not quite that dramatic but with age, maturity, family, more family,
relationships, issues, challenges, and chaos all around, it can be quite
daunting.
However, I call this blog The View From Here because when it's all said and done, it's the way I see it. You most likely see it differently but that's what blogging is all about. We can speak from our viewpoint, our way of interpreting all the things we have to deal with, and in general, the viewfinder through which we see the world, and especially our world.
One final thought in this opening monologue: I know that without God as the foundation of my life through my identity with His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, there would be little hope in all the ups and downs encountered in this journey called life.

That's how it all started. I obviously was very committed to this enterprise since I ended up with nearly 3600 episodes with 432,000 views. Based on the stats provided by the Blogger utility, they have been read pretty much from all over the world. I prayed back then and I pray again, that, my testimonies along with my Word of God references will have an impact on those who intentionally or accidentally land on my blog. For those who have any interest, they are available to click and read. I am no doubt a little rusty but hopefully that will get better as we pick up and move forward. Y'all take care now, you hear? And, may God add His blessings. Amen. More later ...........
