Well let's start, round 2...

It's been a little over a year since my very first post, and only post....but stay tuned, lots of ideas, projects, picture and videos coming!

Hi...Let's get started

First, Hello World!!!

Second, My name is Lenard (age 30)

Third, Why this blog?

Well in an attempt to add purpose to the many, many things you will learn about me and in-turn, my family and friends...I want to live greener. If that is the right word.

To better explain, I want to live with a more common sense driven outlook to life.

See I am a 30 year old, married, father of a 25 1/2 month 1lb 10.5oz preemie boy, divorced, re-married (4 years in Oct.), Step-Father , Care Giver to a Interesting and inspiring Woman (not wife, just wait, it will make alot of "not so weird sense" soon enough) and a New-Again-Daddy!!! Also, to be introduced in time, a wonderful support group of friends and family.

Re-Cap: Me, Wife (Crystal), Ian (8), Skylor (6), Zachary (7months) and Joyce (Retired :) )

Did I loose direction here: YEP...

Ok, I want to live a more meaningful, financially and environmentally responsible life for my self and family.

I want to use many of my God given talents and experiences (both good and bad) to make this happen, with the hope that the chronicling of this ongoing adventure will inspire others and also lead to feedback from anyone willing to help with their ideas, etc.

Now before I end this very first and initial post, kicking of this new blog, I want to mention a few quick things.

Things that I hope will bring in and keep people coming back for more.

1. I am a Christian, my faith is strong!!! But, there is no religious agenda here, but as a Christian from time to time there may be direct mentions related to my faith which I will not hide. (and if you ever need direction with your faith, as a Christian it is my happy duty to listen and direct you towards my best known solution if you ask for it).

2. I am a Conservative...extreme, NO....but i am a conservative under most standard definitions I think, but there is no political agenda here.

3. Global Warming....?!? who the heck knows, the data quite honestly as of TODAY says " NOPE " and if you were to ask me tomorrow if I thought Global Warming was real and happening, I would say no, and point you to the supporting data. But while the jury is still out and arguing, there IS NO political/environmental/climate war agenda here....

JUST SIMPLY THIS: Saving the Natural Environment around us, being conservative of our resources, living healthier, spending smarter, using our brains to create new things no matter how big or small and to share in communication, ideas, values, worth, respect and love for each other and our communities both at home, local, and nationwide/worldwide is a responsibility and noble thing no matter what religion, political point of view or scientific outtake of were the planet stands.......plus, it just makes common sense.

Good nite, Lenard
