A Journal to impart knowledge and facts
July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure! Hi!

*BookStack2* A teacher told me I'm book learned. My mom taught me to read before I went to school. So, I read my way into what I am today.

Yes. at some point I also had teachers for different subjects. Yes. someone in my life helped me with understanding. Jesus.

Along the way of life people told me things or pointed go that way with words. Don't forget even math has a dictionary.

“How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.” -John Burroughs
Let this quote about aging inspire your entry today.


signature dancing owl

Leaves are beautiful as they start to lose the lifegiving sap from a tree.

The human aging process is a lot different than a tree. The organic machine you live in continues to renew itself as long as you continue to feed it properly and give it exercise. You can slow the process of aging by your habits. Youthful habits are important to aging. When Mom and Dad said, go out and play. Or don't drink alcohol, take drugs, and smoke. It was advice that would help your aging processes to go more slowly. Your immune system has to fight anything that attacks the organs of your body. The Old Testament says we have at least 120 years to live on the earth. Even thinking fearful thoughts can attack the health of your body. Doctors try to find causes of aging all the time. Spiritual health has to also be taken into thoughts about the process.

The deciduous tree however is stuck in an environmental cycle. even though it loses its leaves, for a time it grows more. Trees die if attacked by bugs or bacteria. Death is a natural process for molecular beings on the earth.

Do species die if they lose their proper environment or do, they just mutate into a different species that can live on the earth in the new environment?

As I'm writing I'm reminded of "The Lion, The witch, and the Wardrobe." It was always winter because the witch brought the cold and fearful things upon the land. Where the Lion visited the snow melted the birds began to sing and people gave gifts. What secret do we still have to discover to stop death?
