Hi Folks.
Well, it has been way too long since old (And I mean OLD) Flanagan has written a Flanagan's Corner and I'm not sure I still have a following. Truth be told my friends and others, (And some are now saying, "Am I an other?") since moving out to the Mississippi River area near the "prairie of the dog" in the Summer of 2012, it has been a bit of a change in my/our lifestyle.
I've been doing some mini homesteading, farming, ranching, snow plowing, tractor driving, lumber jacking and overall handy man stuff here on the 725 acres of property we care take. One would think after teaching for nearly thirty years that I would be just fine settling in to this situation for the rest of my life. It has been quite the learning experience and even though I thoroughly enjoy many aspects of the life my Dawn and I lead here, (never thought I would be as knee deep in horse poop, dog poop, chicken poop and cat poop as I am) it has caused me to do some deeper thinkin and contemplatin.
I've been thinking about such things as my faith as a believer in Jesus Christ. He IS my Lord and Savior and I am trying to make that walk not just a religious experience, but one of a closer relationship with the one true God. Dawn and I have been through some tests of late as we contemplate God's plans for us and our future and I would even like to write some sort of blog, page or whatever you want to call it, about some of the more serious things a man of changing life in his fifties sees happening around himself and with others. Maybe even expound if anyone cares on some of the lessons in life I have learned, some the hard way, to be a help to others along the paths of their lives. That is for slightly later time.
That being said, I have decided that Flanagan's Corner needs to rise from the ash heap and provide a humorous, slightly irreverent slice of thought to folks existence in days where so much of serious note seems to pervade our world. (I shure iz a gud riter!)
So stay tuned my minions. Flanagan's Corner is (almost) back!!!
