(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Loved with everlasting love, Led by grace that love to know -- Spirit breathing from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! O this full and perfect peace, O this transport all divine -- In a … Continue reading #56: I am His and He is Mine

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.
Running is different than biking…
Or swimming... On Friday I listed some of my goals for the year. One of the fitness goals was to run 52 5k's this year -- not competitions, but all runs -- workouts and competitions. Since I only have done two in a year before, that is quite again. Well, on Saturday I decided to … Continue reading Running is different than biking…
In Praise of the Weatherman
What one job is most disparaged for its accuracy? The meteorologist. But I'm going to go against that. Day after day we complain about the accuracy of the forecast. Rain or not. Yet we check the forecasts each day, and prepare based on it. People in the past would look up to the skies and … Continue reading In Praise of the Weatherman
#55: Come, Christians, Join to Sing
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Come, Christians, join to sing -- Alleluia! Amen! Loud praise to Christ our King -- Alleluia! Amen! Let all, with heart and voice, Before His throne rejoice; Praise is His gracious choice: Alleluia! Amen! 2 Come, lift … Continue reading #55: Come, Christians, Join to Sing
2015 in review
(Note: I almost posted this yesterday, and left that "goals" thing for today, but I couldn't quite do it. Besides, if I'd posted the "goals" thing on Jan. 2, it would make it harder to locate later. Guess I already have a Jan. 1 blog tradition.) The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual … Continue reading 2015 in review
New Year’s Goals (not resolutions)
Wednesday night I completed my bicycle goal for 2015: 2,400 miles in the year, an average of 200 per month. Hot or cold, didn't matter, I got my bicycle miles in. My average speed was 12.25 mph, so my total hours biked was less than 200 -- 196 hours. But that, and the trends and … Continue reading New Year’s Goals (not resolutions)
A Super Christmas — Act IV
The pageant concludes with the discovery of The True Super Hero:
A Super Christmas — Act III
The pageant accelerates in the third act with the shepherds leading the super heroes to the manger:
A Super Christmas — Act II
This is the second part of the performance, and one of my favorites. Â That actor in the white beard -- and with the long light brown hair you can just barely see from the back as he walks down the aisle -- is my son. Plays a good old man, eh? This particular episode brought … Continue reading A Super Christmas — Act II
A Super Christmas – Act I
As I mentioned yesterday, we are in the Christmas Season. So I'm going to finish out the year with a four-part series on Christmas. This is the pageant from Avondale United Methodist Church -- a four-act pageant posted in four parts:
