(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Days are filled with sorrow and care, Hearts are lonely and drear; Burdens are lifted at Calvary -- Jesus is very near. CHORUS Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Calvary, Calvary; Burdens are lifted at Calvary -- Jesus … Continue reading #218: Burdens are Lifted at Calvary
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 #109: Houghton Reunion
Our next look into the past is our 20th reunion at Houghton College. It took place in our 21st year after graduation. We almost didn't have this reunion.

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Comparing Park Features
While touring the various parks, besides noting what we enjoy and had fun with at each park, we started making comparisons and contrasts between them. Certain themes began to arise in our minds.

Fitness Update: Biking in the rain
Well, a couple of things on the fitness front this week: I went to the MD doctor about the bone cramps/muscle aches in my lower and upper left leg. (At its worst, this made it painful to drive at all, as any application of the clutch in our stick shift stressed the offending area.) I … Continue reading Fitness Update: Biking in the rain
