GREENER-GRASS

A direct result of the grazing, musing and wandering of a sheep striving to follow the Good Shepherd.

Is this blog for you?

I think it's time for a little description of the purpose of this weblog and a summary of what you will probably find here in the coming months and beyond.

This is the internet home of Seth Daniel Willard. I am an 18 year old homeschooled student, and live in Minnesota with my family, which includes 5 siblings. There is Ian-16, Ember-11, Sam-9, Nathanael-4, and Josiyah-2. My parents are Lloyd & Tanya, and they're in the prime of life! Mom has willingly been a keeper at home since I was born, and Dad is a Mechanical Engineer who sacrificed promised titles and wealth so he could move his family from the Twin Cities to "the country" where he started his own medical company.

Anyway, my weblog is a compilation of many different endeavors which I have thought about or started doing, and is intended to be viewed and utilized by a wide range of people: Christians of any denomination, as long as they are sincere; Messianic Jews, since that is the form my faith has taken; and non-Christians, who may be searching and seeking or simply browsing and uncovering.

On this site you will read a lot of articles (if they may be called that) which were written by myself. Sometimes they will be funny or comical or contain 'good' criticism directed at certain folks. Other times I will be serious, reasoning, debating, pleading or trying to persuade you (or myself) of something. The tone is bound to fluctuate according to my ever changing emotions and feelings, but the message will be consistent with what I believe.

You will hear me talk about Christianity, worldviews, religion (in both forms of the word), homeschooling, history, family vision, health, the outdoors, projects I am working on or have been thinking about, books and magazines which I enjoy, companies I really trust, recipes that were a hit in my late magazine The Recipe Monthly, methods or products I'd use again, questions in my head that I'd like to ask you, etc...

This place is for people pondering current political and cultural events, for those with questions about the environment and natural living, for those looking for encouragement and support, for those who like to try new inventions, make discoveries, get creative juices flowing, sing a new song from the heart, and so much more!

Finally, it is for old acquaintances-in light of Auld Lang Syne-to whom this website is dedicated.

So please look around, all of you. Read what's interesting, skip what's not, ponder it over, and check back often.

Thanks for your time,
Seth D. Willard
