An elusive purpose

What good is a blog about ordinary family doings?  Does it serve a purpose in the universe?  Is anyone interested in the ramblings of a middle aged mom with five children, several sheep, a whole herd of chickens and enough garden to feed several families?  I don't know. 

I just recently checked the readership of this page and amazingly, it extends beyond my immediate family and friends.  People I don't know, in places I've never been to, and probably will never see have peeked in here to see what life is like.  I wonder what they learn.

I hope they have a sense that life is good here.  We have been blessed with enough of all that matters.  The adult kids are off to successful lives.  The youngers are plugging along.  Not to much happens here that is traumatic, dramatic, or otherwise awful.  It's all OK.  

Across the globe, lot has happened in the last two days.  It touches our thoughts because many people that we know are out there serving far far away.  Here, things are pretty much just carrying on like they should.  And I am thankful for just that much.
