October 16 is an eventful day. It is the anniversary of the day my parents got married (1954), and the day my nephew became the father of twins. And, in 2008, the day I had my stroke. I always mark that particular anniversary with grief for what I lost that day. Without going into a …

My First Week Without Facebook
It’s been a week already? Golly. I don’t miss it. I do, however, miss my friends and family. Facebook made it easy to stay in touch. At any rate, I have my self-allotted social media time filled nicely in spite of it. I do spend a lot of time here, on this blog site, and …

Well, not too long ago, I did. Just out of curiosity, since I’ve never – at least in my memory – heard any preacher preach on it, nor people talk or post about it…so what did that book have for me that might be relevant? Today I read one of my favorite Biblical themes as …

This is a screeshot of something I posted on mastodon today. Not brilliant, necessarily, but the revelation hit me square in the heart, so I wanted to share it.
What’s On My Heart Tonight
As you’ve probably noticed by now, I love cartoons, jokes, memes – any kind of (clean) humor. Even political cartoons, which have been around as long as we’ve had politics.

My Joy, My Life, My Crown
http://dailyprayer.us/daily_inspiration/daily_inspiration.php?day=4037 is today’s Daily Inspiration. Maybe because I’m a musician did it really strike me enough to share today, but whatever the reason it is worth the read. This was shared by a Christian brother today on USA.life.
Some Changes Coming!
I’m excited that I’m working on several new things for this blog! First, rather than the What I’m About page greeting everyone who visits every time, I will have a prominent link to it for newcomers. And I will be adding an index of posts. I’m looking at several plug-ins to accomplish this, but for …
