(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 I've a message from the Lord, hallelujah! The message unto you I'll give; 'Tis recorded in His Word, hallelujah! It is only that you "look and live". CHORUS Look and live (look and live), my brother Live! … Continue reading #195: Look and Live
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 bit of poetry
(Note: it has been awhile since I've pulled up my old poetry, so here is another one. This was during my year as editor of the Houghton Star student newspaper at Houghton College, during the last year that the old Compugraphic machines were used instead of the new Macintosh computers that they got the next … Continue reading A bit of poetry

We see … and do not see …
I recall the talks I have had with my daughter about her powers of observation. She sees a lot of things we do not, yet some of the things we expect her to see she does not. We attend the same places over and over again. We go to the park, to the same restaurants, … Continue reading We see … and do not see …
A Blast of the Past #97: Kings Island
Back in 2008 We got the platinum passes from the Cedar Fair Park System. That gave us the access to all parks in the system. And we took a tour that summer, meeting my family along the way, but hitting many of the parks. The first of which was Kings Island. At that time King's … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #97: Kings Island
A Look Ahead … race weekend

“A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast” … Proverbs 12:10
We have domesticated beasts, and we have beasts in the "wild" around us. Man takes a role of steward of both, especially as our habitats start to surround those of the "wild" instead of the other way around. I remember growing up on the dairy, and the way dad cared for the cattle, nursing the … Continue reading “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast” … Proverbs 12:10
