All the sweeping and searching doesn't always seem to find the lost Talent -- at least sometimes not for a long time. I have two items, one still in transit, one that was just found -- to illustrate this, either well or not. I had bicycle goals and tracked all the miles daily with an … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: Lost and Found
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.
Fitness Update: Heat
We have been having some hot weather here is the Kansas City area, not enough yet to make us think the rest of the summer will be hot, but enough to expect this to be one of several spells of heat we are likely to get. In non-fitness posts I have mentioned starting gardening again … Continue reading Fitness Update: Heat
#281: Never Alone
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 I've seen the lightning flashing And heard the thunder roll, I've felt sin's breakers dashing, Which tried to conquer my soul; I'v heard the voice of my Savior, He bid me still fight on -- He promised … Continue reading #281: Never Alone
The New Grill: A Father’s Day Event
One of the things we have been contemplating getting with all the house movements and the new deck was a grill to go with it. I didn't want anything too big, but wanted something that I could use, and hopefully I would find time to actually be home to grill. We eventually found the right … Continue reading The New Grill: A Father’s Day Event
A Blast of the Past #143: Ours, Fred and Judy
Today's blast of the past photos come from Father's Day 2012. Sort of neat to have something about Father's Day so close to Father's Day. The Avondale United Methodist Church we attend has had many musical ExtravaGANzas over the years, some of them for Father's Day. For the 2012 Father's Day Extravaganza Betsy and I … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #143: Ours, Fred and Judy
A Look Ahead — Father’s Day and beyond
Trying to put together the list of upcoming events. It is currently skewed to very few things immediate and more things further out. Also most of the events come from a very small set of sources. Any suggestions to broaden the list is appreciated. June 17 — Fathers Day. A lot of things … Continue reading A Look Ahead — Father’s Day and beyond
#280: Moment by Moment
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Dying with Jesus by death reckoned mine, Living with Jesus a new life divine, Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine -- Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine. CHORUS Moment by moment I'm kept in … Continue reading #280: Moment by Moment
Sabbatical Update: A rash of things
The past week plus some has been a blur -- or more accurately a rash -- of things. Mostly, it has been the rash of undetermined origins, that blurred and occupied the time between work shifts. It is amazing how a severe rash can have you lying still, or in a slightly tossing state, for … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: A rash of things
Fitness Update: Bicycle anecdote
Since I don't bicycle to work on a regular basis anymore, I don't have that part of my usual fitness regimen to keep me active. But I did get the encouragement from talking to one of y Madrigal singer friends, who has apparently taken up a similar fitness regimen -- or like me possibly also … Continue reading Fitness Update: Bicycle anecdote
#279: A Child of the King
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 My Father is rich in houses and lands, He holdeth the wealth of the wold in His hands! Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold, His coffers are full -- He has riches untold. CHORUS I'mm … Continue reading #279: A Child of the King
