I haven't posted in quite a while, I know.  Life has been very busy, and quite honestly, I considered closing this blog.  Of course, there are a variety of reasons, including life being quite busy, and even a little discouragement setting in, but a couple of things happened to encourage me to give it another shot for a while. 

I was asked by a good friend of mine if I had posted, because he hadn't see anything in a while.

Secondly, my wife suggested I start posting again, actually, she said "You NEED to start blogging again."  Not sure why I need to, but so often she sees things and knows things that I miss, that when she encourages me to do something like this, I don't take it likely.

Finally, this weekend I got 2 comments.  I haven't posted since August, but I got 2 comments.  I don't know if anyone out there is reading this.  Maybe, maybe not.  But at least 2 people stumbled on this blog.

Maybe I will post on exactly why I started blogging, maybe I will post on what my avatar means.  Maybe I will just post some of my thoughts on things, but, whatever it is, I will try to post more often.    But, in the meantime, one of my main goals is to help men be real men for God.  Somtimes this is posting my thoughts on something, somtimes it is asking a question for something I don't know, sometimes it is talking to wives about how they can help us men be better husbands, fathers and most importantly Christians, somtimes it is my thoughts on how to raise our boys to be men, and since my children are still young, my failures on how to raise my sons to be men, but overall I want to help men, especially homeschool dads, be real men.  Until next time.

Be a real man.
