(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, Nor riches on earth could have saved my poor soul; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior now maketh me whole. CHORUS … Continue reading #215: Nor Silver nor Gold
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.
Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Island
Of the three parks designed on the same model -- King’s Dominion, Canada’s Wonderland, King’s Island – King’s Island probably has the best balance from entry to roaming. We arrived at King’s Island on Thursday evening, and got modestly lost on the way to the park before getting ourselves turned the right way. As per … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Island

Something Rotten: It Smells
Today's post is a review of Something Rotten, playing July 25-30 at Kansas City's Starlight Theater. This is the first Starlight experience in awhile that I have nothing to comment on besides the show. The rest of the experience was suitable and without incident.

Electric outages; Electric street cars

During … Continue reading Electric outages; Electric street cars
Fitness Update: Powerless
Okay, how does one keep fit while the temperatures are over 100 and the electricity is out? Okay, that is only 2 days out of the past week. But those days delayed my writing of this blog. They also got us to do more swimming at Oceans of Fun. Or at least floating. Staying fit … Continue reading Fitness Update: Powerless
