From the Beginning of the End

What does it mean to "begin at the beginning?"  Some things have no beginning and therefore, have no end.  Ahh, I would put it to you that there is a beginning to all things here in this world, bound by the Universe and therefore, bound by time.

Are there any among my readers who enjoy Science Fiction?  We are a family in love with SciFi.  We love Star Trek, Star Wars (which, really, is a Western set in Space), FireFly, and many many more movies which would take the rest of the page to list. 

(THEY ARE MAKING Ender's Game into a movie!?) 

I tell you this because there will most likely be many references to Science Fiction shows and movies within this blog.  Now, that is not all that I will offer you here; however, I feel advance warning is appropriate and necessary because here in our home, we are known to speak to one another in what we call, "Movie Language."  This means that we talk to one another using quotes from our favorite movies.  I have been known to look up a movie quote just to get a point across to my husband (whom you will meet later).  If I (and I mean "we") happen to be speaking two different languages one day and are both failing to connect, we break out the "Movie Language."  This usually lightens things up enough that we can laugh at ourselves and begin to understand what it is that we are trying to communicate.

Laughter is key in marriage and friendships.  Which, in essence, is what this blog will be about.  I had another name picked out for this place, (Leighf, Love and the Hot Pursuit) but "Ab Origine Ad Finem" is much more appropriate because it allows me to think openly about life, love and pursuing...well, whatever it is that I want. 

What is it that you want from life?  What is it that drives you to begin something?  Hobbies, relationships, the reading of books, the writing of books, certain tasks, and so on?  Each post of this blog will have a different flavor, a different theme.  It will simply be a reflection of myself and our family as we grow.  There will be quite a bit in here about God, because He is the Creator and I would be remiss if I did not give Him his place as the true "Beginning." 

And yes, there will be a video of me from time to time.  I am open to ideas and questions as well!  So ask away!

I am so excited to start.
