A Learner's Blog

Grateful for God's goodness.

I wonder how many people die early, every day, as a result of ignorance.

It's sad. I hate it. It angers me.

Blogging is not something I think about every day.

For a while, I saw it as a type of journaling, but now I'm not so sure.

There have been cases where information has been posted with the intended audience being friends and family, but what was intended for friends has been read by strangers and acted upon inappropriately. Abusive gate crashing has been one outcome of this.

I don't think I have anything to say that would provoke hatred or spontaneous acts of violence, but nevertheless I am wary of posting flippant remarks.
Trivia related to my own life is boring for the masses. Why would anyone want to know what I ate for breakfast, or which newspaper I have been reading?

So, I shouldn't bother to write anything that is very unlikely to be a conversation starter or "ice breaker".

Maybe I should even delete this post.

Wow. It has been three months since I wrote Dear Friends Die and I still find myself thinking about my friend and about how I miss him. He was is definitely a significant person in my life. I wonder how many people will end up being influenced in a positive way by my life.

A friend of mine had a fatal heart attack on 2006 December 22.

I am glad that he is heavenbound.
I am sad that my wife and I can no longer spend time with him.

I feel so sad for his widow, left behind without her close companion.

I think that the news of his passing was the worst news I received in 2006.
