And the months went by...one by one!

So its been eehh many months since I discovered this world of blogging and I only have one post to my credit. That is doing badly, very badly indeed by my own standards. But since I set the markers in place and grade myself, I will leave the penitence that I have proscribed for myself out of the public domain. For now dear reader, be assured that I am very remorseful for my inactivity of that past.

Once again, its one of those sad days when I am moarning the thrashing that ManU received from Fulham last weekend. This after the afflictions metted against my favoured side by Liverpool a week ago has left me despirited but not hopeless. I am comforting myself in the fact that its just a game and another season and we are bound to see more in our brief lifetime...

Did I just say brief? Yes I did. And why so, is that a good friend just sent me a message today announcing the sad (for the bereaved) passing of his Mom. She was a healthy lady one moment celebrating the news that she was going to be a Grandma again and a few hours later, with no warning at all, she collapsed and peacefully transitioned to the forever. Now to the brief point, she might have lived to an odd 60-something years but I wonder how that will appear in light of eternity. As Pastor Andre said recently, a few thousand years from now, if you were to tell this lady about her life and the animosity or joys it hurled at her during her life this side of the sun, she will vaguely remember, genuinly so.
I am therefore making a point to see things as they truly are. When one rude driver cuts infront of me in traffic, I might be angry, nay, ferrocious for a moment and in light of one weeks driving, that moment fades into oblivion. Is my 30-plus odd years on earth just another fleeting moment in light of the life to come??? How does that inform how I live my life?
Ooops, I was meant to be blogging something for you to read but now I find myself asking questions instead....
I better stop myself at this point before I am accussed of waxing philosophical as this will be pure sciolism.

The next one is coming.....and not in 10 months time!
