This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.

Confirm The Work of Our Hands
Shelleyshares a good Santa story about what Christmas means, Being our neighbor to the north, and closer to the north pole, I trust her in these things.
I hope the Spirit of Christmas encompasses the Humanity of Jesus. He cared so very much about people and was without judgement. This symbolizes his Humanity and that is part of what I think makes Christmas so very special and beautiful.Pass that on to our children, too. I'm here from Michele early this morning.
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

Umm the tree, bells, present giving, mistletoe, holly, candles/lights all pre-date Christianity.
But hey, who cares what the origins are eh?
Here from Micheles
As a kind of reply I guess to Mrs. Aginoth...if you think about it, the cross predates Christianity too...
How are you friend? I've missed reading your blog.
