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.

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Be still, my soul -- the Lord is on thy side! Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide -- In ev'ry change He faithful will remain. Be still, … Continue reading #290: Be Still My Soul
Sabbatical Update: almost
Well, got several more things moved along this week. Finally learned how to use the pad applicators for the deck stain without so much spillage. Have one major thing left to do before everything will be all in sync (apart from the job search, that is). I got very sketchy rough draft of a couple … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: almost
Fitness Update: An actual jog
This week's fitness update is a lot about surviving the heat. I am not sure if they were record highs, but it was a hot week. Yet that didn't change the hours that I worked outside. I worked the tickets venue twice and the treasures venue once. And amazingly, the hotter of the two tickets … Continue reading Fitness Update: An actual jog
#289: Does Jesus Care?
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth and song; As the burdens press, and the cares distress, And the way grows weary and long? CHORUS O yes, He cares - I know … Continue reading #289: Does Jesus Care?
Yellow Deli: Beautiful ambiance and graciously nutritious food, but also a religious cult?
On our visit to Chattanooga recently we encountered the Yellow Deli. We enjoyed the food, the music, and the service received. The decor had Hebraic references, and the 24/5 opening schedule made us think of a Jewish background. It also had an influence that would remind us of the 60s hippie movement. But we never … Continue reading Yellow Deli: Beautiful ambiance and graciously nutritious food, but also a religious cult?
A Blast of the Past #147: Snoopy’s Hot Summer Lights at Worlds of Fun
For several summers Worlds of Fun had a light show called "Snoopy's Hot Summer Lights." It was good the first few years, then sort of faded. As I recall, there was sound with it too, and that improved as the years went on. They did a better job of eliminating overlapping sound zones to prevent … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #147: Snoopy’s Hot Summer Lights at Worlds of Fun

#288: Wonderful Peace
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm; In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls O'er my soul like an infinite calm.
