Greetings! Those of you who have followed this blog, for various reasons, may have seen the post I did in April 2016 when I established a regular schedule for the postings on various days of the week. You may also have noticed that my daily posting fell apart this February due to health and other … Continue reading Blog Schedule: Sabbatical Update
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 #133: Carly’s Confirmation
I grew up in a Baptist tradition. We didn't have infant baptism and we didn't have confirmation services. So when moving to Avondale United Methodist Church, we had to get used to both concepts. Today's Blast of the Past is one of those events -- Carly's Confirmation service and day. As you can tell from … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #133: Carly’s Confirmation
Sabbatical — Day 1
Well, I intended to write this to go up at the beginning of the day. The dry spell is over. The blog is back to daily posts. Today's theme, and the restart of the daily posting, is Sabbatical.

Reading between the Lines/Lions
Decided to do something simple that didn't take a lot of thought or editing. This is just observations from my daily Bible reading plan. You know you read a passage, and there is so much background context either missing or assumed. It raises questions or makes you mind fill in possibilities. This is that sort … Continue reading Reading between the Lines/Lions

For those of you who. are regular follwers of "Be Swift Be Precise" you will have notice a real oddity this past "long" weekend: The blog has gone postless for three days. This breaks a string of unbroken posts for at least two years or longer. The reason, quite simply, relates to my physical fitness, … Continue reading Fitness Update: Viral Reboot
A Tale of Three Packages
My old trusty Sony handicam died suddenly last week. So we went out to Best Buy and replaced it with a Canon. I am loving the new camera, although learning to handle it's extensive function through its 288 page PDF manual is a little daunting. The one way the new purchase set me back, besides … Continue reading A Tale of Three Packages

Road to Thesis: Conference Call
Well I turned in the first written assignment for the Master's Thesis last night just before midnight: The One-Page Proposal. This afternoon I got on a conference call with the lead professor and three other students to go over the professor's notes and comments on our proposals. I started my proposal by pulling the salient … Continue reading Road to Thesis: Conference Call

This is basically a non-post. Aside from bike riding haven't done much fitness this week.
