The day before Easter seems an odd time to do a post on a Christmas movie. But this is the time the DVD came from the library from my hold request I put in back in November. Unfortunately, or so I thought at first, it turned out to be the 1994 remake and not the original … Continue reading Miracle on 34th Street
Author: Sir Rhodri
Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.
A Blast of the Past #40: Thanksgiving 2000
My side of the family gets together every few years for Thanksgiving. It is our holiday to share from where we've been spread across the U.S. When it first started, I thought it was supposed to be every three years, but somewhere along the line that was changed and some people insist it was always … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #40: Thanksgiving 2000
The War on Boys
(I found this interesting ... and something faster to put up than my intended article on the false dichotomy of the alpha/beta male syndrome -- I'll have to save that for later.)

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Day is dying in the west, Heav'n is touching earth with rest; Wait and worship while the night Sets her evening lamps alight Thru all the sky. CHORUS Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heav'n and … Continue reading #78: Day is Dying in the West

fitness update: app issues
Well I am continuing to enjoy my Misfit Shine, but the app still does things that irritate me from time to time. I finally learned that I can change tagging activities without having to double sync, but I have to toggle screens and see the "saved changes" message or else it hasn't worked. My lap … Continue reading fitness update: app issues
#77: Sun of My Soul
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hid Thee from thy servant's eyes! 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My … Continue reading #77: Sun of My Soul
If I don’t want you to like me, then you can’t ….
I know, twice in one week, do a shared post, unheard of by me. But I thought this one silly. The shared blog below shows that some people are afraid of being nominated by anyone who is in any way associated with the "Sad Puppy" movement. They are telling people they aren't allowed to nominate … Continue reading If I don’t want you to like me, then you can’t ….
A Blast of the Past #39: First Haircut
A lot of firsts take place in the first year of life. The one featured today is first haircut. Curious, as Betsy notes, the boy was born dark-haired, but became our fair-haired boy after his first haircut. Today, of course, he is our "man with the gorgeous hair", as the girls at Worlds of Fun … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #39: First Haircut
